[R-pkg-devel] Assistance Needed for Resolving Submission Issues with openaistream Package

[Lluís Revilla]

Hi Li Gen,

This NOTE is part of the new checks on CRAN to comply with its policy.
The error message was introduced in c85587 (2023/11/22), when
incorporating this suggestion
https://bugs.r-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18611.
You can see the changes and checks in the browser here:
https://github.com/r-devel/r-svn/commit/c82305de4adc1a8ee01aaf3b4c84bd55721e77fc)
But the solution is what Ivan already wrote: simply provide a file
LICENSE that can be read with read.dcf with those two fields.

Best regards,

Lluís
