It may be that there’s no location info because during the “Computing
Guix derivation” step, things are being evaluated.

However, most likely the invalid license wouldn’t have been committed in
the first place because the committer would have been unable to test the
package.  (There is location info when running Guix from one’s
checkout.)

Thanks for checking!

Ludo’.
