Unfortunately, your project is not compliant with version 3.3 of the REUSE Specification :-(
Key issues:
0/174 files contain license information (SPDX identifiers), despite 97 files having copyright notices.
Non-compliance risks legal ambiguity and hinders downstream adoption.
Suggested Fix:
Add SPDX license identifiers to all files (e.g., // SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-or-later).
Benefits of SPDX Compliance:
✅ Simplifies compliance for users and contributors.
✅ Machine-readable metadata ensures automated tooling compatibility.
✅ Reduces legal risk by eliminating ambiguity.
