Hello mates,

i'm trying to build a new packageversion. The old Licenses Field was "GPLv3 or later". If i'm going to: http://license.opensuse.org/ and place GPLv3 there, the Site proposes to use "GPL-3". If i'm placing this into the Licenses Field i become: kvirustotal-lang.noarch: W: invalid-license GPL-3 kvirustotal.x86_64: W: invalid-license GPL-3 kvirustotal.src: W: invalid-license GPL-3 The specified license string is not recognized. Please refer to http://license.opensuse.org/ for the list of known licences and their exact spelling.

But why this false? Does anyone knows more?

Use the abbreviations from http://www.spdx.org/licenses/ instead, in this case "GPL-3.0+".

It's a known issue that license.opensuse.org works incorrectly, but we ran out of time before christmas vacations. Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
