Checking the source files of 'recode' I found the following licenses: mostly GPLv2+, LGPLv2+, and in some files GNU Library General Public License. According to gnu.org the GNU Library General Public License has been succeeded by the GNU Lesser General Public License.
What should I use in the License tag??
/usr/bin/foo, build from 5 GPLv2+ files and one LGPLv2+ file -> its GPLv2+ /usr/lib/libfoo.so.0, build from 3 LGPLv2+ files -> its LGPLv2+
Now if you both of these in the same package then the package gets:
License: GPLv2+ and LGPLv2+
As it has binaries under 2 different licences in the package
As much as I could figure out both the util and the lib are built from GPLv2+ and LGPLv2+ source files. So they and the package itself are GPLv2+, aren't they?
