[Fedora-legal-list] Regarding c++ source with a separate license

[lakshminaras2002 at gmail.com]

Hello

I am reviewing mpdas https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=680657.
The  sources are licensed under BSD license. There is one file in the
sources md5.cpp which has been authored by a different entity and has a
separate license text. The contents look to be from a md5.c file put inside
a cpp file. The license text is close to MIT but I am not completely sure
about that.

I have two doubts
1) Is this package acceptable in Fedora? Reason is that if the whole set of
sources are under BSD then this md5.cpp is also under that license. Would
the new author have permission to do this?
2) If yes to @1, should the packager mention two licenses in the spec file?
