Hello,
per https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main?rd=Licensing#License_Changes
...
the "passwd" package has contained
License: BSD or GPLv2+
however, there is no "version 2 or later" clause in any of the
copyright notices. So I've just updated it to
License: BSD or GPL+
and will build this in F18 and rawhide.
