Hi, this has recently come up in a discussion about the License tags of gcc and mingw32-gcc. The guidelines are very clear here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:LicensingGuidelines#Multiple_Licensing_Scenarios > If your package contains files which are under multiple, distinct, and > independent licenses, then the spec must reflect this by using "and" as a > separator. There's even an example to clarify this: > License: Python and LGPLv2+ and BSD This is also reflected in the FAQ: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:FAQ#How_should_I_handle_multiple_licensing_situations.3F It shall be noted that commas are also not allowed in dual-licensing scenarios, where "or" is the required separator. Thus the following License tag is NOT valid: > License: GPLv3+, GPLv3+ with exceptions and GPLv2+ with exceptions It should be fixed to read: License: GPLv3+ and GPLv3+ with exceptions and GPLv2+ with exceptions The goal here is not to write stylistically nice English, but to write 100% unambiguous, automatically parsable text. The rpmlint tool is correct in complaining about this. Kevin Kofler -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
