This is due to licensecheck which no longer follow the regexp given to --check 
option (done in davmail source repo, see below):

$ licensecheck --encoding utf8 --copyright --machine '--check=.*\.(c|r)' --
recursive src/icon 
src/icon/davmail.png    UNKNOWN ÿ3gÎ; / z¿>)çyñ]ïûÀ^´;;/ / zxÜ»Ê+õ3º$InÉò+

Given the regexp passed to --check, licensecheck should skip the png file.

Jonas, could you have a look ?

Thanks for this. I'm always glad when a bug report contains detailed 
instructions to reproduce a bug which saves me some time :-)

All the best
