[Fedora-packaging] Multiple license scenarios

[Martin Gieseking]

Hi,

I need some enlightenment about multiple license scenarios of packages. 
Until now, I thought packagers should mention all distinct licenses in a 
spec files's License field that are part of a tarball. Thus, if some 
files are licensed under GPLv2+ and some under BSD, we get "GPLv2+ and 
BSD". That's how I read the guidelines (e.g. 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/LicensingGuidelines#Multiple_Licensing_Scenarios)

However, during a review 
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=594943#c16) it was stated 
that sources with compatible licenses like LGPLv2+ and BSD may be merged 
to LGPLv2+. I can't believe that, but might of course be wrong since I'm 
not a legal expert. Could anybody shed some light on this?

Regards,
Martin
