28 The change only reflects what's already in GLEP 68 [0] which itself
29 derives this condition from GLEP 46 [1] which has the following clause:
30
31 """
32 name should contain a block of text with upstream's name, is mandatory
33 and can only appear once.
34 """
35
36 It has been this way since ~2008 according to the GLEP bug [2].
