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.
Heh, sorry I'm about to finish doing my 149th and 150th package today (after
days of working on this), and I really do _not_ feel like doing any more
license reviews. I'm happy to answer any questions though.
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'?
GPL+, the version in the COPYING file is irrelevant.

Hans
