Dear list members, 
I would like to ask regarding licenses for the W3AF (webapplication audit tool) and its suitability for Fedora. 
I would like to package w3af for Fedora. this software is python application bundled with several 3rd party python libraries.

It is possible to use system libraries for some of the dependencies, but for some of those it will not be trivial to separate them (that is probably reason why debian package bundles them as well).

1) How is it in such situation with compatibility betwen GPL  LGPL other licenses if the software is
distributed de-facto in a source form ? Is it problem to bundle libraries ?

2) How the license tag in the package should look like?
Is something like this suitable for the situation ? 
License: GPLv2 and ( LGPLv3 and LGPLv2 and GPLv2+ and GPLv3 and CC-BY-SA )

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=579428

Attached is the list of bundled libraries which I was able to identify in the upstream tarball.

Thank you for advice.
Michal Ambroz
