are involved during build. Is it not a Mixed Source Licensing Scenario ?
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:
LicensingGuidelines#Mixed_Source_Licensing_Scenario
Kind of. I think the licensing guidelines are not entirely consistent,
and that section seems to allow specifying multiple licenses. But
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:FAQ?rd=Licensing/FAQ#What_is_.22...
recommends specifying just the effective license. And
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:FAQ?rd=Licensing/FAQ#How_should_...
explicitly talks about mixing GPL and BSD:
The source code contains some .c files which are GPLv2+ and some
other .c files which are BSD. They're compiled together to form an executable. Since
some of the files are licensed as GPL, the resulting executable is also GPL. The License
tag should read: License: GPLv2+

We need to contact upstream. I'm waiting for confirmation of XCAS's forum
registration.
Yeah. If they could resolve this upstream this would be a much better
outcome.
