From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003 Description of problem: Here is a list of installed software on my Red Hat 8.0 machine grouped by license type. As you can see, terms like "GPL/LGPL", "GPL and LGPL" and "LGPL/GPL" have identical meaning, yet sort into separate buckets.
