Hello,
I'd like to ask someone to have a look at the license for java-gnome, the GNOME Java bindings:
http://research.operationaldynamics.com/bzr/java-gnome/mainline/LICENCE
I'm hoping it can be added to the acceptable licenses list. Presumably after that happens I can put "License: GPLv2 with exceptions" in the corresponding spec file.
Is it wrong to fall back to "License: GPLv2" in the meantime? I'd like to have the exception though to hopefully make it GPLv3 compatible.
Thanks! /abo

This is the "Classpath" exception, which is fine for Fedora. Go ahead and use:
License: GPLv2 with exceptions
(I've added entries for the Classpath exception to the GPL section of the Licensing list to make this clear.)

This may be impossible, note that GPLv3 allows a downstream to remove permissive exceptions.
