I think it's actually: some parts are under GPLv2+ only, while some
other parts are under BSD-3c or GPLv2. So this would be:
CAN_UTILS_LICENSE = GPLv2+, GPLv2 or BSD-3c
but it would be nice to indicate what is under what license, like this:
CAN_UTILS_LICENSE = GPLv2+ (this), GPLv2 or BSD-3c (that)
I haven't looked in details as to what license applies to what part. I
would suppose that the "library" parts are under GPLv2 or BSD-3c, while
the programs are under GPLv2+, but this remains to be verified.
