[Fedora-legal-list] Question about License field

Quick Q about the license field in a Fedora-produced RPM:

What does "/" mean in the License field? i.e., does:

GPL/LGPL

mean disjunctive dual-license (i.e., recipient can choose which terms
to comply with)? mixed-license (e.g., libraries LGPL, utilities GPL)?
Or is there no way to know merely from the License field?

[In the particular example I was looking at, it means the latter, but
I guess I'm wondering if that is consistent/reliable or more a fluke.]

Thanks-
Luis
