Testing rpm-specs/ipxe.spec No terminal defined for 'w' at line 1 col 8 GPLv2 with additional permissions and BSD ^ Expecting: {'AND', 'OR'}The license does appear to be accurate in the sense that it reflects the somewhat unusual license of iPXE.
The problem is that
GPLv2 with additional permissions
is not valid short name from
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main#Software_License_List
The License tag was never formally defined. If we agree that there can be anything, then let it be.
Just most of our strings are in the form:
license: "(" license ")" | license operator license |
short_name
operator: "and" | "or"
where short_name is the identifier from Licensing:main.
If we fix few exceptions like "license, license" then we will benefit from
* unified syntax
* machine readable string
* automatic validation
I recommend to track such exceptions in comments. E.g.
# the actual license have additional permission allowing to
....
License: GPLv2 and BSD
