Document fails to build when importing dolicense: Package hyperxmp Error: hyperref must be loaded before hyperxmp.

[RalfJung]

After a recent texlive update, the following trivial document now fails to build:

\documentclass[english]{article}

\usepackage[
    type={CC},
    modifier={by},
    version={4.0},
]{doclicense}

\begin{document}
This is the document.
\end{document}

When I run pdflatex, I get an error saying

Package hyperxmp Error: hyperref must be loaded before hyperxmp.

I am importing neither of these packets, so I am kind of at a loss about how to resolve this situation.

This is on Debian with texlive 2023.20231007-1.

As I understand it, the intention is for the pacage to automatically load needed other packages, so seems there is a bug here.

A workaround is to manually load hyperref before, like this:

\documentclass[english]{article}

\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage[
    type={CC},
    modifier={by},
    version={4.0},
]{doclicense}

\begin{document}
This is the document.
\end{document}

Another workaround is to avoid use of hyperxmp (read the documentation for details on when that might be suitable), like this:

\documentclass[english]{article}

\usepackage[
    type={CC},
    modifier={by},
    version={4.0},
    hyperxmp=false,
]{doclicense}

\begin{document}
This is the document.
\end{document}
