I don't want to sound like the bad guy, but that's not how we determine the package licenses at Fedora. See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingGuidelines#Licensing We need to look into all of the source files, and extract the license information. It might happen (and it has happened in the past) that different subsets of the source code are licensed under different licenses but the tarball does not contain the license texts of all these licenses. See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:LicensingGuidelines#Multiple_Licensing_Scenarios Moreover it might happen (and it has happened in the past) that the author just put a wrong COPYING file into the tarball by mistake. Just looking into the COPYING file is not the way to determine the license of the package. lilypond-doc-2.13.49-2.fc15,lilypond-2.13.49-2.fc15 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 15. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/lilypond-doc-2.13.49-2.fc15,lilypond-2.13.49-2.fc15 lilypond-doc-2.13.49-2.fc14,lilypond-2.13.49-2.fc14 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 14. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/lilypond-doc-2.13.49-2.fc14,lilypond-2.13.49-2.fc14 lilypond-doc-2.13.49-2.fc15, lilypond-2.13.49-2.fc15 has been pushed to the Fedora 15 stable repository.
