License type GPL-3.0-or-later throws warning

[mmarseglia]

Using metadata-json-lint (2.1.0)

Set the following in metadata.json:

  "license": "GPL-3.0-or-later",

Run tests and get this warning message:

(WARN) license: License identifier GPL-3.0-or-later is not in the SPDX list: http://spdx.org/licenses/
Warnings found in metadata.json

The expected behavior is no warnings and the test to pass. The license is valid according to https://spdx.org/licenses/.

This appears to be related to domcleal/spdx-licenses#1, @domcleal can you verify?

It was just an outdated licence list, as the new -or-later IDs came in with SPDX 3.0. The gem was still on 2.4, so I've pushed a new version with the updated list. It should be fixed now if you update to spdx-licences-1.2.0 🙂

(The linked issue is for more complex combinations of multiple licences, which is rare in practice, at least for Puppet modules.)

Please re-open if the gem update doesn't fix the issue for you.
