I'm trying to get OpenBIOS re-admitted to Fedora:

The code is a hodge-podge of files from various sources. I've attached the output of licensecheck to this email.

So the question is, do I just jam together all the known licenses into a string, ie.

License: BSD and GPLv2 and [etc]

or do we use the main license (GPLv2), or something else?

There are a lot of files without per-file licensing in that mix. I'm not overly concerned about it though, since there seems to be a clear lineage from the Linux kernel, libc, and libgcc.

I think listing all the licenses in play might make sense here, although since GPLv2 is in play (and not just GPLv2+), that will almost certainly end up being the strictest license, so it could just simplify down to GPLv2.

Either way works for me.
