FC12: wireshark: GPLv2 and GPLv3+

[Julius Davies]

GPLv2,GPLv2+
wireshark-1.2.2/epan/dissectors/packet-dlm3.c


GPLv3+
wireshark-1.2.2/tools/pidl/lib/Parse/Pidl/Samba4/Template.pm



The strict GPLv2 in packet-dlm3.c is coming from this:


/*
 * #defines are mostly copied from
 * *.[ch] files in linux/fs/dlm/ and linux/include/linux/dlm.h
 *
 * dlm_internal.h:

In case you are sure, you may file a bug also and notify maintainer
about it, and expedite the process of fixing things quickly. In case
you have some queries ping fedora-legal.

If your concern is that the "GPLv2-only" notice on dlm_internal.h is
causing a GPLv2/GPLv3 license incompatibility here (I have no opinion
on that issue) - to the extent that Red Hat holds copyright in that
code (including Sistina copyrights acquired by Red Hat), it is
available as "GPLv2 or later", despite what the notice says.

Cheers,
Richard
