@jjnicola I don't think this is in the correct format and can not be recognized by the action ...

As far as I can tell, https://github.com/BurntSushi/walkdir can be licensed under either Unlicense or MIT (see https://github.com/BurntSushi/walkdir/blob/master/README.md?plain=1#L11 ), both of which are already in the list.

So the problem is rather that walkdir uses a non-SPDX-compliant identifier for its license. The correct identifier should be Unlicense OR MIT.

Correct! Nevertheless, this can not be "fixed" on our side!

@greenbone/scanner-maintainers is this still required? Did you get approval?

what approval? we still need that notation https://github.com/BurntSushi/walkdir/blob/master/Cargo.toml#L12 , yes.

It is fair to assume that the author doesn't seem to care about SPDX-compliant notations as there is a PR open since 2021:
BurntSushi/walkdir#155

This will currently not work anyway, as logically connected licenses are not a thing anymore, see #1197
