           Summary: License: field in gettext-devel and gettext-libs
                    should be "GPLv3+ and LGPLv2+"
           Product: Fedora
           Version: rawhide
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: low
          Priority: low
         Component: gettext
        AssignedTo: petersen at redhat.com
        ReportedBy: rfontana at redhat.com
         QAContact: extras-qa at fedoraproject.org
                CC: petersen at redhat.com, i18n-bugs at lists.fedoraproject.org
    Classification: Fedora
    Target Release: ---


Currently, the License: field corresponding to the binary subpackages
gettext-devel and gettext-libs has: "LGPLv2+".

gettext-devel contains /usr/include/autosprintf.h which has an LGPLv2+ notice,
and /usr/include/gettext-po.h which has a GPLv3+ notice.

gettext-libs contains /usr/lib/libasprintf.so and /usr/lib/libgettextpo.so
It seems fairly clear from the source code for gettext that upstream intends
for libasprintf to be LGPLv2+ and intends libgettextpo to be GPLv3+.

Therefore, the License: field for these subpackages should have "GPLv3+ and
LGPLv2+".
