Don't sign me up yet, but I'll look at it when I'm trying to avoid doing other things (the structured procrastination method). Hopefully someone will beat me to it and do it better than I could. >> By the way, "GPLv2+ or Artistic" is not in the license list in Wiki >> nor thus in rpmlint. > > Ahh. I'll fix that right now. While we still need to handle cases like this, in the particular case of "(GPL+ or Artistic) and (GPLv2+ or Artistic)", isn't it rather pointless? GPLv2+ or Artistic is a subset of GPL+ or Artistic.
