Comment 1 Sven Lankes 2008-07-31 21:49:41 UTC 
snippet from #fedora-devel:

killefiz | spot: is there anything wrong with a package being "GPLv2 or
Artistic" - rpmlint complains but I cannot see why this should be an issue
    spot | killefiz: that should be fine, we just need to fixup rpmlint there
Comment 2 Ville Skyttä 2008-08-01 19:00:06 UTC 
rpmlint follows http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing very closely and "GPLv2
or Artistic" is not listed as a valid short name there... "GPL+ or Artistic" and
"GPLv2+ or Artistic" are, FWIW.  spot?
Comment 3 Tom "spot" Callaway 2008-08-06 16:00:00 UTC 
I added it to the list today, in 0.99.
