It should be an ""&" (and).  I will send a updated patch soon.

    Hello Christopher,

    Your observation is very accurate.

    After a quick inspection I observed the following:

                         Inside heartbeat-suse.spec the next 
information:License:        GPL v2 only; LGPL v2.1 or later

    Link here:
    
http://hg.linux-ha.org/heartbeat-STABLE_3_0/file/545554f6fc0a/heartbeat-suse.spec

                         Inside heartbeat-fedora.spec the next 
information:License:          GPLv2 and LGPLv2+

    Link here:
    
http://hg.linux-ha.org/heartbeat-STABLE_3_0/file/545554f6fc0a/heartbeat-fedora.spec

    I added Lars Ellenberg one of the authors behind heartbeat or drbd
    to the discussion.

    Hello Lars, sorry for disturbing you but maybe you could help us
    with our little problem.

    If anyone from the Yocto Project community has any input on this
    matter please help.

    For me at least this problem is not clear. Should the “|”sign remain
    or should it be replaced with the “&”one between the licenses.

    Thanks guys,

    Alex Vaduva

    Are you sure this is correct? Afaict this is wrong, as there are
    parts of the source tree under the GPL, and parts under LGPL, which
    means it's an AND relationship -- both apply, not an OR
    relationship, where you can choose which to use.

It is an "and".
Some parts have been taken from LGPL or dual license whatever/LGPL
origin. Some GPL. So it is both, not an option or choice. Which parts
are what however I do not know from the top of my head, I'd have to
check, if it is relevant to you.

Thanks,
Lars
