If the README has the last word here and it does not matter that some sequences of bits of /usr/bin/cdparanoia are licensed under GPLv2+ and the rest of it under GPLv2, so be it.

On the other hand, https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/LicensingGuidelines/#_mixed_source_licensing_scenario states that if /usr/bin/foo is generated from foo1.c licensed under A and foo2.c licensed under B, where A and B are compatible, but different, licenses, then this scenario should be handled by "(A and B)" in License field.

The best way to deal with this situation would be to ask upstream to re-license those two files to GPLv2, but cdparanoia upstream is effectively dead.

Jiri

I believe this patch is not correct.

"The License: field refers to the licenses of the contents of the binary rpm."
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/LicensingGuidelines/

In the README file there is writted: "cdparanoia (the command line tool) is released under the GPLv2.  The interface and paranoia libraries are covered by the LGPLv2.1."

So, it doesn't really matter if two source files are distributed under the GPLv2+ license. The resulting binary (i.e. /usr/bin/cdparanoia) will always be GPLv2.

Andrea
