# RECOMMENDATIONS

* Fix missing licenses: For at least one of the license identifiers provided by
  the 'SPDX-License-Identifier' tags, there is no corresponding license text
  file in the 'LICENSES' directory. For SPDX license identifiers, you can simply
  run 'reuse download --all' to get any missing ones. For custom licenses
  (starting with 'LicenseRef-'), you need to add these files yourself.
* Fix invalid SPDX License Expressions: In one or more files there are SPDX
  License Expressions which cannot be parse. Check whether the value that
  follows 'SPDX-License-Identifier:' is correct. If the detected expression is
  not meant to be valid, put it between 'REUSE-IgnoreStart' and 'REUSE-
  IgnoreEnd' comments.
