--- Comment #8 from Kalev Lember <klember@xxxxxxxxxx> ---
Excellent, thanks for checking! Ohh, good point for the "effective" license and
statically linked binary, I didn't realize that.

Re combining MIT and GPLv3+ in one executable, I'm pretty sure the resulting
binary is effectively licensed under the strictest of the two licenses, which
in this case is GPLv3+. It would be 'MIT and GPLv3+' when one binary is MIT and
another one is GPLv3+, but since they are compiled together into one binary,
the "strictest" license wins. See
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:FAQ?rd=Licensing/FAQ#How_should_I_handle_multiple_licensing_situations.3F
and in particular, point 1 there. I'll quote:

<quote>
The source code contains some .c files which are GPLv2+ and some other .c files
which are BSD. They're compiled together to form an executable. Since some of
the files are licensed as GPL, the resulting executable is also GPL. The
License tag should read: License: GPLv2+
Note that you do NOT need to list BSD in the License tag, the License tag
reflects the resulting, packaged, items in the binary RPM.
