[Fedora-legal-list] Proper license field for GPL aggregation

If a package's source is under a GPL-compatible license (say MIT), and 
it links against a GPL library (say readline's GPLv3+), what should the 
license field say? Maybe "MIT and GPLv3", with a comment explaining 
which library pulls in the GPLv3 requirement?

Thanks,
