RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
The qemu-kvm RPM spec currently says

   License: GPLv2+ and LGPLv2+ and BSD

which is nice, except it doesn't reflect reality.

 - Some of the source files are GPLv2-only
 - Many of the source files are MIT license (much of block/ and audio/ dirs)
 - The QEMU logo is CC-BY-3.0

In addition, per:

  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:FAQ?rd=Licensing/FAQ#How_should_I_handle_multiple_licensing_situations.3F

If you have GPLv2-only and GPLv2-or-later in the same package, then the License, should only say "GPLv2", no need to include "GPLv2+" also. I believe the same would apply for LGPLv2+, because the presence of GPLv2-only code forces LGPLv2+ to become GPLv2-only.

So I think the correct License statement would be

  License: GPLv2 and BSD and MIT and CC-BY

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.10.0-16.el7

Fix included in qemu-kvm-rhev-2.12.0-2.el7
