This is worse than I feared the fabled GPLv3 fallout could be...
Don't be ridiculous, we're addressing this now because some people
have decided to make GPLv3 an issue, but licence tagging and checking
is a longstanding problem which was going to bite us sooner or later
once Fedora expanded from a small well-known core to a huge package
collection.
Some software pools have standardised on a single well-understood
licence. Many haven't and this was true before the GPLv3 endeavour was
announced.
