Of the packages I checked there were six that had no license. I tried to contact the authors or teams and this is the result: - Two had no easy to find contact info so I gave up on contacting them. - Still waiting for a reply from one author. - One author had unfortunately died. - One reply was: "Oh, I haven't thought about it. Is it a problem?". - One reply pointed out that the string GPLv3 is in the main file in the copyright line(!) and with the belief that this would be enough. So the two answers I got sound to me like the authors are neglecting the license issue but that there is likely good intentions and willingness to fix the problem (maybe after getting some advice on how to do that.) Not much of statistics but it is what it is! Yours -- %% Mats
