This is a correct assessment. Fortunately, bmpx had an incorrect license
tag (GPLv2) when it is actually GPLv2+. I've corrected that in rawhide.

kdemultimedia also had an incorrect license tag (GPLv2), when it is
actually GPLv2+ for the binaries, LGPLv2+ and GPLv2+ for its libraries.
Rex and I have corrected the license tags in rawhide.

There should be no problem moving forward with cdparanoia 10. :)

This is a big reason why it is important to ensure that your license
tags in the spec file are correct, it helps us to quickly identify areas
of possible license conflict.
