According to the licensing guidelines the License tag should reflect the
license of the components of the binary RPM, not the sources. The binary RPM
has only one component - the jarfile. So the license tag should reflect its
license. If you only have the present situation and the author can not provide
clarification the jarfile is a unit compiled from some sources licensed as BSD
and some sources as LGPLv2+. The license of the resulting unit must be the most
restrictive license, i.e. LGPLv2+. So the only component in the binary RPM is
LGPLv2+, and no component is BSD - so the license tag should then be LGPLv2+.
It really is weird that the license of the package is given by the license of 5
lines of code - but this is how I read the Licensing guidelines.
