Hiyas,

do you have any recommendations on how to check which license a package uses? 
Is it enough to look at the upstream homepage or README which license it uses 
or need a reviewer perform a code inspection? In the latter case is it enough 
to check the headers of each file for licensing? And has each file have a 
header with an allowed license? And after review, has the maintainer to check 
on each new file on each release whether or not the file has an allowed 
license?

Regards,
Till
