I'm trying to package x2gokdrive for Fedora, but running into some 
questions/issues with the licensing:

1 - There is no license file in the released tarball

2 - The debian/copyright file in the git repo states that the license is 
GPL-2+ except for testscripts/* at GPL-2.  However, licensecheck reports:

./x2gokdrive.c: Historical Permission Notice and Disclaimer - sell variant
./x2gokdrive.h: GNU General Public License v3.0 or later
./x2gokdrivecursor.c: GNU General Public License v3.0 or later
./x2gokdriveinit.c: GNU General Public License v3.0 or later
./x2gokdrivelog.h: Historical Permission Notice and Disclaimer - sell 
variant
./x2gokdriveremote.c: GNU General Public License v3.0 or later
./x2gokdriveremote.h: GNU General Public License v3.0 or later
./x2gokdriveselection.c: GNU General Public License v3.0 or later
./x2gokdriveselection.h: GNU General Public License v3.0 or later

3 - This code is combined with the Xorg server code which is under the 
MIT license.


This is quite a mess.

Any chance this could be cleaned up?

Thank you.
