With texlive-extra-2022.20230122 source, scan-copyright emits some warnings but does not fail.

Could you try scan-copyright on your side by running this command in texlive-extra directory ?

$ scan-copyright > copyright.debian

Since the source is quite big (the output of license-check weights 32MB), it's possible that your system runs out of memory. 
Please check for kernel message.

On my system, scan-copyright uses ~130MB when scanning texlive-extra.

All the best
