Hello,
I found a license cited below during srpm review. I'm not able to define
what kind of license is it. Could you help me with it? The source is a
part of iputils package together with other sources/binaries. There is
more type of licenses. Particular binaries contains sources of one
license type. The package is used in Fedora and RHEL-6. I suppose spec
file license definition should appear:

License: BSD with advertising and GPLv2+ and <unknown_licence>

Thank you for your help in advance

Best regards

Jiri
