Summary: nkf's license is not any type of BSD license, unlike
the spec description.
Product: Fedora
Version: rawhide
Status: NEW
Component: nkf
Assignee: tagoh(a)redhat.com
Reporter: firmbl(a)gmail.com
QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org
CC: i18n-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, tagoh(a)redhat.com
Target Milestone: ---
Classification: Fedora
Description of problem:
nkf's license is not any type of BSD license, unlike the spec description.
How reproducible:
Check difference of
src.fedoraproject.org 's spec and source code.
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/nkf/blob/rawhide/f/nkf.spec#_5
Spec file says it's BSD License.
On the other hands, copyright notice of nkf.c in the upstream tarball
is not any type of BSD license.

===============================================================================
I think this license is not listed in fedora's Software License List.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main?rd=Licensing#SoftwareLicenses
Maybe difficult to describe in spec.
Additional info:
nkf is also packaging in other distribution.
For example, package is available for debian.
https://packages.debian.org/ja/sid/nkf
Copyright metadata says it's "Custom" license.
