Package: devscripts
Version: 2.13.0
Severity: normal
Thanks for having fixed the bug #659231.
I have another one, now. The attached file "ImageIO.h" is part of CGAL-4.1.
Its license is LGPLv3+, but licensecheck, from devscripts 2.13.0, sees it as
UNKNOWN.
The reason is that the wording of the license is about *files* (plural)
instead of a software (singular).
The attached patch "0002-Fix-the-detection-of-L-A-GPL.patch" formatted with
git-format-patch, fixes that bug. It replaces "it" by "(it|them)", so that the
regular expressions accept sentences about plural things.
