I'm working on packaging GSmartControl. Most of it is under a "GPLv2 or
GPLv3" license, some is BSD, some is zlib, some is Boost.
Some files have no notice, and their COPYING file says "All files which
don't have any copyright notices, as well as tests and examples are
covered under the Whatever License. See LICENSE_whatever.txt for details."
LICENSE_whatever.txt says:
Whatever License
THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED 'AS-IS', WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED
WARRANTY. IN NO EVENT WILL THE AUTHORS BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES
ARISING FROM THE USE OF THIS SOFTWARE.
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim or modified
copies of this license document.

including commercial applications, and to alter it and redistribute it
freely.
Is this an acceptable license for Fedora? If so, what should it be
called in the License tag in the spec file?
When there are both "or" and "and" conditions involved in multiple
licensing, how is that conveyed in the License tag? Can I use
parenthesis, e.g.
License: (GPLv2 or GPLv3) and BSD and zlib and Boost and Whatever
Thanks!
Eric
