> According to this, libnice is dual-licensed as both MPLv1.1 and
LGPLv2.1:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libnice/libnice/-/blob/master/COPYING?ref_type=heads
>
> LGPL2.1 should be fully compatible with GPL3+ as far as I understand, so
it should be fine distribute binaries.
The link you provided does not say the project is dual-licensed. It says:
"The Nice Glib ICE library is licensed under both the Mozilla Public
License
version 1.1 and the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1. For the
full text of these licenses, see the files COPYING.MPL and COPYING.LGPL
respectively."
Dual-licensed would mean the user could choose to use one license or the
other one. But it does not say that it is dual-licensed. It does not say
that the user may choose one or the other. It says that it is licensed
under both licenses: MPL ''and'' LGPL, suggesting that the user must
comply with the terms of both licenses, and this is what is expressed in
the MacPorts portfile. You could file a bug report with the developers of
libnice to ask if they intended it to be dual-licensed and to give the
user a choice of license. If that's what they intended, they should
clarify the wording. If and when they do, let us know here so we can
update the portfile.
