Got your attention? Good. GPL and LGPL are NOT acceptable License tags for Fedora. You cannot simply use "GPL" or "LGPL" as a license tag anymore. You have to use one of the following tags: GPL+, GPLv2, GPLv2+, GPLv3, GPLv3+, LGPLv2, LGPLv2+, LGPLv3, LGPLv3+ GPL+: If there is no version specified anywhere, and it only says GPL, then it is GPL+. It is also GPL+ if the code is licensed as "GPL version 1 or later". GPLv2: If the code only says "version 2 of the License." and does NOT say "or later version", then it is GPLv2 only.

NOTE: Don't trust COPYING. Look at the source code itself.
I've got ~40 packages to go through, so this may take a while. Any offers of help are appreciated.
abe contains only a COPYING file that says 'Version 2', and no copyright or license info in the source files themselves. In the absence of anything in the source files, does this qualify abe for 'GPL+' or 'GPLv2'?
