# `ambiguous-paragraph-in-dep5-copyright`

The paragraph has both `License` and `Copyright` fields, but no `Files` field. The paragraph is technically valid according to the DEP 5 specification, but it is probably a mistake.

If the paragraph is a "stand-alone" license paragraph, the `Copyright` field is not needed. If it is, on the other hand, "files" paragraph, the `Files` field is missing.

The `Files` field was at some point optional in some circumstances but is now mandatory in all "files" paragraphs.

Severity: | `warning`
Experimental: | `false`
