New builds that change licensing terms should check any library dependencies for license incompatibility.

(not sure about GPLv3+ / LGPLv2 compatibility, I haven't thought much about it, and IANAL :-)
I'm very wary at attempting to rely the licensing tag in spec files for any automation like this out of the gate. There are packages which include multiple pieces of code under different licenses and of course packages with code under multiple licenses. These situations aren't codified in the licensing tag. -jef _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board
