@razzeee I'll add a check for Should we ignore files if the tag is present in the |
License tag should already be mandatory. What this should do is see if doesn't match the SPDX format and suggest it. Same for the python files. |

This forces every add-on to be GPLv2+
.
I don't think that was your intention.

oh Yeah, I think I just did what was given to me as an example. Without keeping in mind that XBMC also have MIT, LPGL, BSD etc.
I'll fix this

@Rechi There's a problem with the identification of Licenses, lot's of addon have GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 3, 29 June 2007
this type of text in their license
tag. Now should I follow the identifiers in https://spdx.org/licenses/, doing that will generate an error on the type I mentioned above or should I just check that the license tag is non-empty, but doing this will pass all types of Licenses including any random string in the license tag.
One solution could be that we create a dictionary of all the license that we need and then use it.

As I already mentioned at another PR, first require the licence tag to be listed exactly once and have a non empty string as value.
Also there is no reason to disallow non standard licences.
