--- Comment #2 from Petr Pisar <ppisar@xxxxxxxxxx> ---
I don't agree with your resolution.

c/ppport.h is "GPL+ or Artistic". Because Fedora does not permit Artistic, the
file is compiled as "GPL+". And if you link GPL+ code into an Artistic 2.0 code
(lib/Params/Validate/XS.c), the result is tainted by GPL. Thus the binary
package must state GPL+ in the license tag.

Raising to the Fedora legal team for a decision.
