Summary: Licensing of source code is unclear to distributions
Description:
During the review for Fedora packaging, the following comment was made:
* There are many files under perl/ and php/ directories, which have the license
text:
# This package is Free Software or Open Source available under the
# following licenses (these are alternatives):
# 1. GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL)
# 2. GNU General Public License (GPL)
# 3. Mozilla Public License (MPL)
These do not state any license versions. It would be good to ask upstream.
On the other hand, for example, python/RDF.py says that it is LGPLv2+ or GPLv2+
or ASL 2.0 or MIT, which makes the licensing scenario even more complicated.
(See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=659082)
Maybe the source code should be reviewed and the licensing situation cleared up?
