Hello Christopher,
Your observation is very accurate.
After a quick inspection I observed the following:
Inside heartbeat-suse.spec the next information: License:
GPL v2 only; LGPL v2.1 or later
Link here:
http://hg.linux-ha.org/heartbeat-STABLE_3_0/file/545554f6fc0a/heartbeat-suse.spec
Inside heartbeat-fedora.spec the next information: License:
GPLv2 and LGPLv2+
Link here:
http://hg.linux-ha.org/heartbeat-STABLE_3_0/file/545554f6fc0a/heartbeat-fedora.spec
I added Lars Ellenberg one of the authors behind heartbeat or drbd to the
discussion.
Hello Lars, sorry for disturbing you but maybe you could help us with our
little problem.
If anyone from the Yocto Project community has any input on this matter please
help.
For me at least this problem is not clear. Should the “|” sign remain or should
it be replaced with the “&” one between the licenses.
Thanks guys,
Alex Vaduva

Are you sure this is correct? Afaict this is wrong, as there are parts of the
source tree under the GPL, and parts under LGPL, which means it's an AND
relationship -- both apply, not an OR relationship, where you can choose which
to use.
