As before, please provide a better description (at least by replacing =E2=80=9CProvides=E2=80=9D in the first sentence with =E2=80=9CThis packa= ge provides=E2=80=9D); and use lower-case in the synopsis. > + (license license:gpl3+))) I don=E2=80=99t think this is correct. The package actually doesn=E2=80=99= t declare the version of the GPL. There are no license headers I could find and all it says is =E2=80=9CThis package is free and open source software, licensed unde= r GPL.=E2=80=9D Furthermore, as noted before, there might be a license conflict when combining =E2=80=9Cr-knitr=E2=80=9D with =E2=80=9Cr-markdown=E2=80=9D, be= cause the latter is released under =E2=80=9CGPLv2 only=E2=80=9D. I just asked the author about what version of the GPL was intended here[1]. ~~ Ricardo [1]: https://github.com/yihui/knitr/issues/566#issuecomment-140042571
