<listitem><para>Do not use spaces within individual
|

license names.</para></listitem>

that cover different parts of the source.

Here are some examples:
|
||||
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
|
||||
LICENSE = "LGPLv2.1 | GPLv3"
|
||||
LICENSE = "MPL-1 & 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.
