The output suggest to look into documentation, the specific place is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/SPDX_Licenses_Phase_1#What_tools_validate_the_License_field? And this is the verbose output: ~~~ $ license-validate "Vim AND LGPL-2.1-or-later AND MIT AND GPL-1.0-only AND (GPL-2.0-only OR Vim) AND Apache-2.0 AND BSD-2-Clause AND BSD-3-Clause AND GPL-2.0-or-later AND GPL-3.0-or-later AND OPUBL-1.0 AND Apache-2.0 WITH Swift-exception" -v License: Vim AND LGPL-2.1-or-later AND MIT AND GPL-1.0-only AND (GPL-2.0-only OR Vim) AND Apache-2.0 AND BSD-2-Clause AND BSD-3-Clause AND GPL-2.0-or-later AND GPL-3.0-or-later AND OPUBL-1.0 AND Apache-2.0 WITH Swift-exception Warning: OPUBL-1.0 is not-allowed license OPUBL-1.0 can be used under this condition: Allowed-for documentation if the copyright holder does not exercise any of the “LICENSE OPTIONS” listed in Section VI These packages are known to use this OPUBL-1.0 license as an exception: ['vim'] Uses not-allowed license. ~~~ IOW `OPUBL-1.0` is possibly problematic. It would be nice to find where the exception was approved and how relevant is this for this plugin. BTW I have bad experience with statements like "Distributed under the same terms as Vim itself." The thing is that Vim might change their terms any time and then it is not clear how it impact SW which claims it is "Distributed under the same terms". Are those the old terms, new terms, both. Is the claim time bound? I would suggest to discuss this with upstream. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
