Proposed fix

Description of problem:

geany.spec defines License tag as:

> License: GPLv2+

However, Geany has bundled Scintilla library, which has different license, MIT. (Actually, Scintilla's license is "Historical Permission Notice and Disclaimer" (HPND), but <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main> prescribes using "MIT" short name for HPND.)

Thus, License tag in geany.spec must be 

> License: GPLv2+ and MIT

(see <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:LicensingGuidelines?rd=Packaging/LicensingGuidelines#Multiple_Licensing_Scenarios>). 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Fedora 27, geany-1.32-1.fc27.src.rpm.


How reproducible:

Always.
