Re: [Fedora-legal-list] Request for Clarification: License of unit test framework

Hi,
I've got a BSD-licensed library up for review[1]. All of the code for
the library falls under the BSD license, but the package bundles an
LGPLv3-licensed unit test framework [2]. The unit test framework is
built and used in %check, but does not end up in the resulting binary
RPM. My question is, do I need to include LGPLv3 in the package's
license? Or, should I rm the LGPL source during %prep and exclude
%check? The guidelines tend to indicate I don't[3] need to include
LGPLv3 in the license field, but this particular case isn't treated in
the multiple licensing situations[4].
You don't need to include LGPLv3 in this case, because those bits do not
end up in the binary RPM package.
