Hello.

SRC rpm is : perl-Net-Patricia-1.20-2.fc19.src.rpm

perl-Net-Patricia license tag is broken. (not vaild license tag)

See:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:LicensingGuidelines?rd=Packaging/LicensingGuidelines#.22Distributable.22


I see copyright notice text.

copyring notice file list:

A) Net-Patricia-1.20/COPYING
B) Net-Patricia-1.20/libpatricia/copyright

I think that "A" is GPLv2, "B" is 4-cause BSD License.
4-cause BSD License is GPL incompatible. (Adversing cause)

I think that this is license problem and non-free.

Note: GPL and 4-cause BSD License is free, fedora acceptable licenses.


Suggests:

1. resolve license problem (if this is license problematic) and fixing license
tag.

2. Remove fedora repos.

3. contact upstream author.


Thanks.
