This section instructs to add the license to the DESCRIPTION file, but there's no indication on how to do that. At least, a link to the right chapter in the documentation should be added, but even better if an example is given.
In my case, after adding the actual license file to the repo, the only thing that did not result in devtools.check() complaining was to use License: file LICENSE. Neither License: BSD-3-Clause license or License: BSD-3-Clause License + file LICENSE worked.
