Description Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos 2016-11-21 12:23:50 UTC
Description of problem:
The license of the libidn2 library is LGPLv3+ or GPLv2 (according to the C files consisting the library), while the included tools are GPLv3+. The spec file incorrectly lists only GPLv3+.

I think it is reasonable to simplify the library license by upgrading all to GPLv3 however that will create confusion for someone trying to check whether he can link against libidn2 or not. It is better to explicitly list the licenses as: "LGPLv3+ or GPLv2 and GPLv3"

Comment 2 Robert Scheck 2016-11-21 20:04:43 UTC
As per the discussion at #fedora-devel on IRC it should be:

 (GPLv2+ or LGPLv3+) and GPLv3+
