I'm reviewing a new package to be included in Fedora repos. [1]
As always, I'm making confusion between GPLv2+ and GPLv3+... license in spec file is

COPYING file itself distributed in sources is a GPLv2 license.>
What license is right to be write in spec file?
Mattia
In that source archive i see:
GPLv2
GPLv2+
GPLv3+
LGPLv2+
LGPLv3+
GPLv2 is more restrictive but compatible with GPLv2+ only, not with GPLv3+.
LGPLv2+ and LGPLv3+ code can be released under GPLv3+.
MIT is always GPL compatible.
If i have correctly understood the License Compatibility and Relicensing
rules, the correct resultant license is
(GPLv2 or GPLv2+) and GPLv3+
