--- Comment #22 from Neil Horman <[email protected]> ---
Michal, thats a question for legal to answer.  Dual Licensing can mean any
number of things, including your interpretation, or others in which certain
files are licensed exclusively under a specific license (DPDK does this,
electing GPLv2 for some files, and BSD for others, and a proprietary license
for yet others).

Fedora typically treats a dual license scenario on a per-file basis (each file
selects which of the dual licenses applies to it).  Regardless, any non-open
source compatible license requires legal approval to be packaged and
distributed.

However, its a moot point, since Mellanox is being kind enough to fix the
packaging to be dual licensed BSD and GPLv2, which solves the problem for us,
as both of those are compatible.

alex, for your reference, here are the fedora license guidelines:

Should they help guide your conversion.  Thank you for taking the time to clear
this additional hurdle.  Please post a new spec and srpm here when you have one
available.
