Thanks Ben, but I am a bit confused:

Speaking as an unqualified observer, as I see it, there are three kinds of work
in this project:
- Work after 2017-12-01, which is BSD-3-Clause (only).
This contradicts "The above [Apache-2.0] license applies to all contributions
after 2017-12-01"
- Old work for which the maintainers could not secure consent for relicensing,
which is Apache-2.0 (only).
This contradicts "The above BSD License Applies to all code, even that also
covered by Apache 2.0." -- there is no code licensed by Apache-2.0 only in this
project.
- Old work for which the maintainers did secure consent for relicensing, which
is BSD-3-Clause. One might pedantically call this work (BSD-3-Clause OR
Apache-2.0) since the old license terms can’t be rescinded, but this falls into
the category of trying to represent historical license terms after a
relicensing, which I don’t think Fedora should want to attempt in general.
Since the maintainers don’t *intend* to offer a choice of licenses, I think
just BSD-3-Clause is a better representation for this category.
And this relies on the two previous points.
