Checking the source files of 'recode' I found the following licenses:

What should I use in the License tag??


/usr/bin/foo, build from 5 GPLv2+ files and one LGPLv2+ file -> its GPLv2+
/usr/lib/libfoo.so.0, build from 3 LGPLv2+ files -> its LGPLv2+

Now if you both of these in the same package then the package gets:

License: GPLv2+ and LGPLv2+

As it has binaries under 2 different licences in the package



As much as I could figure out both the util and the lib are built from GPLv2+ and LGPLv2+ source files. So they and the package itself are GPLv2+, aren't they?


Yes that would be the case then.
