[Fedora-legal-list] FC12: rsync-3.0.6: GPLv2 and GPLv3 and GPLv3+ ?

rsync's RPM says it is gplv3+.

But....

rsync-3.0.6/getgroups.c;GPLv3
rsync-3.0.6/testhelp/maketree.py;GPLv2

The rest of the source is mostly GPLv3+ with some ZLIB.


The "maketree.py" file doesn't seem too important.  I ran it for fun
by just typing:

python maketree.py

And now I have 688MB of randomly named files and directories under
/tmp/foo (420 directories, 8420 files).  So I'm not really sure if the
fact "maketree.py" is strictly GPLv2 matters at all.
