Explicitly licensed under GPL-2.0-only is 'file-dds' plugin.
Explicitly licensed under BSD-3-Clause are 'script-fu/ftx' and 'script-fu/
tinyscheme' plugins.
'libgimp' and the other GIMP libraries are licensed under the LGPL-3.0-only
(hence there has to be a switch from GPL-3.0-or later to LGPL-3.0-only as I
misinterpreted it before).
The first paragraph on this page:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/license-field/
States:
"The spec file License: field consists of an enumeration of all licenses
covering any code or other material contained in the corresponding binary
RPM. This enumeration must take the form of an SPDX license expression. No
further analysis as to the "effective" license should be done."
Package maintainers only need to list the SPDX license tags corresponding to
code that goes in the binary RPM(s) for that package. This means any licenses
build scripts (like all of the autoconf/automake stuff) and things of that
sort that do not end up in the binary RPM(s) are not to be included.
Also, and this is important, package maintainers are not meant to perform an
"effective license" analysis. For more information, see:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/license-field/#_no_effective_l...
So based on this input, I assume the 'LGPL-3.0-only AND
GPL-3.0-only AND
GPL-2.0-only AND BSD-3-Clause' should be fine, or should there be some AND=>OR
replacement or any other change?
After looking through the source, your initial license expression here is
correct. Just list the license tags joined with AND. I found nothing in the
source indicating something like "this source is licensed under A or B" such
as what you would find in Perl's source, for example.
Current Fedora Legal Resources do not carry the former "GPL compatibility"
table like we used to have on the wiki. This is deliberate. For more
information:

And they are not linked together? Because if they are, we have a problem!
