Apparently not fully consistent between packages and packagers?
What I tend to do and recommend, is list all _relevant_ licenses,
without doing an interpretation of what would be the overall license.

FWIW, there was past discussion:

* https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2021-05/msg00183.html
* https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2021-05/msg00186.html

that was somewhere in between the two endpoints.

Greetings,
Maxime.
