While updating Mandriva RPM for 4.3.5 it caught my attention that SPEC statesLicense: GPL. Now, that is wrong as far as I can tell; Zsh is not under GPLlicense and it IIRC several times it was mentioned on zsh-workers that Zsh won'tbe put under GPL (I may be wrong here).
This poses several questions.
If we need License tag in RPM - how should it be called? Zsh comes with LICENSEfile but that is not anything from "commonly used" license.
Possibly more question to zsh-workers - should I remove License: GPL fromMandriva RPM?
To cooker - if we cannot put any "common" open source license tag in zsh RPM -is it allowed to be distributed via main repository?


See http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Policies/Licensing for the license policy.

AFAICS in this case the "correct" license tag is:
License: BSD-like
