All five links under "Licensing in Fedora" should point to other pages instead of non-existent sections of the same page. Several links on https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/license-field/ contain two fragment identifiers. There can only be one. I haven't searched the other pages for similar errors. > Many software packages consist of code with different free and open > source licenses.

Are we supposed to write "GPL-3.0-or-later AND GPL-2.0-or-later AND LGPL-3.0-or-later AND GPL-3.0-only" or do those still combine into GPL-3.0-only? Björn Persson
