[Nix-dev] nixpkgs-lint doesn't recognize meta.license in screen

Hi guys,

nixpkgs-lint complains that the package screen wouldn't have a license:

  $ nixpkgs-lint -f ~/.nix-defexpr -p screen
  === Package meta information ===
  screen: Lacks a license
  [...]

In fact, however, it does:

  meta = {
    homepage = http://www.gnu.org/software/screen/;
    description = "a window manager that multiplexes a physical terminal";
    license = stdenv.lib.licenses.gpl2Plus;
    [...]
  };

Am I missing something?

Take care,
Peter
