--- Comment #14 from Mario Blättermann <mario.blaettermann@xxxxxxxxx> ---
I had a deeper look at the licensing scenario, and hopefully I figured out what
it really is.

GPL is not applicable, it refers to xml2po.py, which is a helper script only.

$ licensecheck -r * | grep BSD
thirdparty/getopt/getopt_long.c: BSD (3 clause)
thirdparty/getopt/getopt.c: BSD (3 clause)

This refers to bundled stuff. We don't use this, we need to pull the getopt
development files from the build system. This also means you still have to
remove thirdparty/getopt, better the whole thirdparty directory to be on safer
side. Maybe a patch is needed to use the local getopt instead of the bundled
one.

$ licensecheck -r * | grep ISC
tests/DirectExecTest.cpp: ISC
tests/UnicodeHandlingTest.cpp: ISC
tests/C4ValueTest.cpp: ISC
tests/C4StringTableTest.cpp: ISC

The licensecheck script fails here to correctly detect the license of the
source files. The file headers map the ISC license, so this would be OK.

As far as I can evaluate, the license tag has to be "ISC and CC-BY-NC". but
have a look at the tables in the licensing guidelines:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main?rd=Licensing#Bad_Licenses_3
The Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial License is mentioned there as a
"bad license" (maybe due to inacceptable restrictions). So I'm afraid this
package is only releasable in RPMfusion.
