Hi,

The licensing here looks... complicated.  Is that fair?

https://dfsg-new-queue.debian.org/reviews/arduino-cli

I've started to go through these things, I've found a few Authors that
perhaps were missed?  There's a whole 3M hidden folder called
".licenses" which suggests theres's already been a whole lot of due
diligence about this in the past.

I see a few lines where licenserecon finds some differences in the
licenses in the code to what is stated in debian/copyright.

However I suspect you've already gone through all this in some
detail...

Has the review found anything you missed, or do you have more
background for me that I should know before signing off on this?

Thanks,
Andrew McMillan
