I have no idea what you're talking about. To not answer my brief question
doesn't help.

[...]

In comment 11, I've mentioned that _some_ of the source file headers in the
build rpm explicitly give the licensing the name "MIT License",

  $ grep MIT *
  CachedFactory.h:// Code covered by the MIT License
  DataGenerators.h:// Code covered by the MIT License
  Factory.h:// Code covered by the MIT License
  Key.h:// Code covered by the MIT License
  SPCachedFactory.h:// Code covered by the MIT License
  StrongPtr.h:// The copyright on this file is protected under the terms of the
MIT license.


while other files apply a nameless license as in:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing/MIT#Old_Style

Due to even different licenses applied to other files in the binary rpm,
currently the following guideline applies:

 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/LicensingGuidelines#Multiple_Licensing_Scenarios

  ==> License: GPLv2+ and MIT and Boost

Compatibility with GPL is given by both MIT and Boost, but there is no
automatic/implict conversion of the licensing of either The Program or
individual files included in the binary rpms. Further, MIT#Old_Style does not
explicitly permit sublicensing. And with that we're back at older comments in
this ticket.
