Hi,


My co-author detected some slight errors in some RPM license
attributes.  Errors listed below:

abrt-0.0.11-2.fc12.i686.rpm
License: GPLv2+
---
Our source file scan detected some GPLv2 (strict) files:
abrt-0.0.11/lib/Plugins/Kerneloops.cpp;GPLv2;,;0
abrt-0.0.11/lib/Plugins/KerneloopsReporter.cpp;GPLv2;,;0
abrt-0.0.11/lib/Plugins/KerneloopsScanner.cpp;GPLv2;,;0
abrt-0.0.11/lib/Plugins/KerneloopsSysLog.cpp;GPLv2;,;0
abrt-0.0.11/lib/Utils/copyfd.cpp;GPLv2;,;0
abrt-0.0.11/lib/Utils/logging.cpp;GPLv2;,;0
abrt-0.0.11/lib/Utils/xfuncs.cpp;GPLv2;,;0
abrt-0.0.11/src/Hooks/dumpoops.cpp;GPLv2;,;0


eclipse-cdt-6.0.1-7.fc13.i686.rpm
License: EPL and CPL
---
We are unable to find any source files with CPL, although some
documentation files in the source RPM do specify this license.


mtools-4.0.12-1.fc13.i686.rpm
License: GPLv2+
---
We are unable to find any source files that are GPLv2+.  They appear
to all be GPLv3+.


ortp-0.16.1-1.fc13.i686.rpm
License: LGPLv2+ and VSL
---
We're less sure we found a problem with this one, but thought we'd let
you know we're having trouble locating the source of the VSL
licensing.




Thanks very much for clarifying my understanding in that previous
thread about a month ago!
