Although I believe there is precedent for putting muliple licenses into
the License tag field.  I don't recall how it was handled/what it
applied to.  Licenses could be License A and License B, Lcense A or B,
and in this case, License A for Program A and License B for Program B.
If rpm supports subpackages with different License: tags this could
work.  Alternately: "License: GPL or BSD see COPYING.txt" with
COPYING.txt listing the licenses for the individual programs in the
package.

Not a canonical answer, just a thought of how to handle it.
