apk may be missing mandatory license field
Author: mcandreCreated Feb 5, 2026Updated Feb 5, 2026
Alpine Linux describes the license field as mandatory:
Warning: It is not acceptable to package software with "unknown" license! If you can't find the license of the source code, please contact the author and ask them to specify the license.

The current apk implementation in fpm seems to omit this field when generating the .PKGINFO configuration file.
