md5.c is licensed under GPLv2+ and it seems to be linked at least to libGeoIPUpdate. Therefore everything what links this library must be GPLv2+ too. Upstream COPYING file mentions this exception. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): GeoIP-1.4.8-2.1.fc18
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
How about I change the package's license tag to "LGPLv2+ and GPLv2+", with most of the package being "LGPLv2+" and just %{_libdir}/libGeoIPUpdate* being "GPLv2+"? That would reflect upstream's licenses whilst creating minimal impact on the rest of the distribution, since all current GeoIP users in Fedora are linked against libGeoIP but not libGeoIPUpdate.
