The first paragraph on this page: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/license-field/ States: "The spec file License: field consists of an enumeration of all licenses covering any code or other material contained in the corresponding binary RPM. This enumeration must take the form of an SPDX license expression. No further analysis as to the "effective" license should be done." Package maintainers only need to list the SPDX license tags corresponding to code that goes in the binary RPM(s) for that package. This means any licenses build scripts (like all of the autoconf/automake stuff) and things of that sort that do not end up in the binary RPM(s) are not to be included. Also, and this is important, package maintainers are not meant to perform an "effective license" analysis. For more information, see: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/license-field/#_no_effective_license_analysis > So based on this input, I assume the 'LGPL-3.0-only AND GPL-3.0-only AND > GPL-2.0-only AND BSD-3-Clause' should be fine, or should there be some AND=>OR > replacement or any other change? After looking through the source, your initial license expression here is correct. Just list the license tags joined with AND. I found nothing in the source indicating something like "this source is licensed under A or B" such as what you would find in Perl's source, for example. Current Fedora Legal Resources do not carry the former "GPL compatibility" table like we used to have on the wiki. This is deliberate.
