Here are some examples:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
LICENSE = "LGPLv2.1 | GPLv3"
LICENSE = "MPL-1 &amp; LGPLv2.1"
LICENSE = "GPLv2+"
</literallayout>
The first example is from the recipes for Qt, which the user
may choose to distribute under either the LGPL version
2.1 or GPL version 3.
The second example is from Cairo where two licenses cover
different parts of the source code.
The final example is from <filename>sysstat</filename>,
which presents a single license.
