Well, the hunspell-ta package is fine, you can take GPL+ code and combine it with GPLv2+ code to get a GPLv2+ end result, but the hunspell-or package is not okay, because you can't end up with LGPLv2 when you start with GPLv2+, unless they are the same copyright holder on both works. ~spot _______________________________________________ legal mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/legal
