dep5-copyright-license-name-not-unique

This paragraph defines an already defined license.

According to the specification, short license names are required to be unique within a single copyright file.

This tag could be raised by something like this:

Files: filea ...
Copyright: 2009, ...
License: LGPL-2.1
 This program is free software;
        ...

Files: fileb ...
Copyright: 2009, ...
License: LGPL-2.1
 This program is free software;
 ...

In this case, you redefine LGPL-2.1 license. You should use a stand-alone paragraph or merge the two files (using a single paragraph).

Severity: warning
Experimental: false
