Umm...
spot, would you answer my question below?

! First of all please unpack passenger-2.0.3.gem in the srpm by below:
  $ mkdir TMP ; cd TMP
  $ tar xf ../*gem (gem can be unpacked by tar)
  $ mkdir TMP ; cd TMP
  $ tar xzf ../data.tar.gz
  Then:
First of all, the overall license this package is GPLv2 (not GPLv2+)
Then ext/apache2/LICENSE-CNRI.TXT says:
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
A few functions in ext/apache2/Hooks.cpp are based on the source code of
mod_scgi version 1.9. Its license is included in this file.
Please note that these licensing terms *only* encompass those few
functions, and not Passenger as a whole.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
CNRI OPEN SOURCE LICENSE AGREEMENT

(CNRI = Python 1.6 i.e. GPL incompatible license follows)
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

What I am in trouble is that
- What functions in ext/apache2/Hooks.cpp are actually based on mod_scgi codes
- And I don't know for now how these functions are used in the other parts
  of passenger source codes
- So I am not sure if the code in Hooks.cpp under CNRI license won't conflict
  with GPL.

spot, how do you think about this. For me the current status seems very
obscure.
