Description steffen_brauer 2023-08-23 07:23:32 UTC
As per https://gitlab.com/man-db/man-db/-/blob/main/README.md?ref_type=heads package is "GPL-2+ GPL-3+"

https://gitlab.com/man-db/man-db/-/blob/main/lib/mp.h?ref_type=heads is MIT

tarball has a lot of LGPL-2.1+ licensed files under gl/lib

So, LICENSE should be "GPL-2+ GPL-3+ MIT LGPL-2.1+"


Reproducible: Always
