--- Comment #24 from Jos de Kloe <josdekloe@xxxxxxxxx> ---
These 3 fils surely have the LGPL license:

eccodes-2.7.0-Source/src/grib_accessor_class_bufr_data_element.c
eccodes-2.7.0-Source/src/grib_accessor_class_pack_bufr_values.c
eccodes-2.7.0-Source/src/grib_accessor_class_unpack_bufr_values.c

I suspect this is a mistake upstream, since early versions of the predecessor
package grib_api where LGPL licensed. They may just have forgotten to update
these files.
I have raised an issue upstream to inquire if this really is what they
intended, see:https://software.ecmwf.int/issues/browse/SUP-2387
(unfortunately this issue is not yet public)
and they confirmed this probably is a  mistake.

Anyway, for now the situation is as it is, so looking at the licensing faq:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:FAQ?rd=Licensing/FAQ#How_should_I_handle_multiple_licensing_situations.3F
question 2.2, issue nr. 1, the most strict license should be applied, so this
would be the LGPL license I think.

I'll update the spec file accordingly for now, and revert the change when
upstream fixes this in a new release.
