As a purely logical expression, this simplifies to "GPL-2.0-or-later AND
LGPL-2.1-or-later". Is that sort of simplification not allowed?


This is no longer allowed:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/license-field/#_no_effective_license_analysis

Also https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/license-field/#_combined_disjunctive_and_conjunctive_license_expressions which says:

"""
The license expression must reflect the disjunctive license choice even if one or both of the license identifiers in the OR expression also appear separately in the composite license expression.

...

License: (GPL-3.0-or-later OR MPL-1.1) AND GPL-3.0-or-later AND MIT

Here we repeat GPL-3.0-or-later because for one binary component it appears as part of an OR subexpression. That is, OR expressions must be treated as though they were a single distinct license.
