[Fedora-legal-list] yq Licensing Question

[Maxwell G]

Hi,

I am reviewing yq, which is an MIT-licensed, statically linked (all go binaries are
statically linked) go project that builds against
golang-github-timtadh-data-structures-devel. The latter is licensed under GPL-2.0-only. My
understanding is that distributing yq binaries with just the MIT license file as is
constitutes a GPL violation.

While we're waiting for upstram to rectify this situation (I filed an issue), would it
be permissible to set the License field to `MIT AND GPL-2.0-only`, include a copy of the
GPL v2 in the package, and add a comment to the specfile explaining the situation?
