I am reviewing mpdas https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=680657. The sources are licensed under BSD license. There is one file in the sources md5.cpp which has been authored by a different entity and has a separate license text. The contents look to be from a md5.c file put inside a cpp file. The license text is close to MIT but I am not completely sure about that.
I have two doubts
1) Is this package acceptable in Fedora? Reason is that if the whole set of sources are under BSD then this md5.cpp is also under that license. Would the new author have permission to do this?
2) If yes to @1, should the packager mention two licenses in the spec file?
