New comment by Chocimier on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/24445#issuecomment-688494718 Comment: Exactly because of implementation: `xbps-query -p license X` is metadata of files contained in package X, not its dependencies. What should be license of lxqt or xorg that depends on packages under variety of licenses? That said, in case of "uniform" sets like libreoffice, referencing deps is strictly better than previously-agreed constant `BSD-2-Clause`.
