Why do you want to leave "Unlicense" out? The licensing guidelines say to list
both of the licenses in this case:

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/license-field/#_disjunctive_or_license_choice_also_known_as_dual_licenses

"If your package (or part of your package) is licensed under a choice of two
(or more) licenses, and each license is allowed for Fedora, the License: field
must reflect this by using the OR operator."

Furthermore, reading the new licensing guidelines a bit more, I would say that
the way the licenses are simplified here is actually incorrect. See
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/license-field/#_combined_disjunctive_and_conjunctive_license_expressions
:

"The license expression must reflect the disjunctive license choice even if one
or both of the license identifiers in the OR expression also appear separately
in the composite license expression."

So I'd actually say the correct license expression in this case should be:

License: Apache-2.0 AND (Apache-2.0 OR MIT) AND BSD-3-Clause AND ISC AND MIT
AND (MIT OR Apache-2.0) AND Unicode-DFS-2016 AND (Unlicense OR MIT)

What do you think? How do you understand the new guidelines?
