[Fedora-legal-list] Question about the text of a license file
Hello
During a package review [1], the question arose whether the package
under review had an acceptable license [2].
Looking at the git log I can see the following commits were done to the
COPYRIGHT file:
```
commit d7c9ecae0492bbdd449fd8e3ccf94abf73ea5f36
Author: Kornel Lesiński <kornel(a)geekhood.net>
Date: Sat Dec 5 14:46:48 2015 +0000
Relicense under GPL

commit 3fe4b3520e0502d0a2822d6d19ef8374960c0a3c
Author: Kornel Lesiński <kornel(a)geekhood.net>
Date: Sun Mar 2 19:18:51 2014 +0000
Changed license to the simplified BSD license
```
It seems that the license changed two times in the past. I'm not sure
what that would mean and if it's okay, as I have little experience with
open source licenses.
FYI: The package that I am trying to get into fedora is a rewrite of a C
library [3] that is already packaged for fedora. So this should mean
that the license is acceptable, right?
