Done. I found that src/tcl/contrib/ezsmtp/* files have a nonGPL
license
(tcl/contrib/ezsmtp/license.txt). I wrote in spec file that they are "freely
distributable". Is it correct?
No, that is a BSD style license which is *compatible* with GPL [1]. That code
ends up in the final scid executable. GPL is stricter than BSD and the stricter
license wins [2]. The scid authors decided to link this BSD code to GPL code
and they have the right to do so because of the GPL-compatibility. The
resulting file will be GPL. Well, GPLv2+ in this case.
