RPM and it's source code are covered under two separate licenses. 

	The entire code base may be distributed under the terms of the GNU
	General Public License (GPL), which appears immediately below.
	Alternatively, all of the source code in the lib subdirectory of the
	RPM source code distribution as well as any code derived from that code
	may instead be distributed under the GNU Library General Public License
	(LGPL), at the choice of the distributor.

	This alternatively is allowed to enable applications to be linked
	against the RPM library (commonly called librpm) without forcing such
	applications to be distributed under the GPL. 

	Any questions regarding the licensing of RPM should be addressed to
	marc@redhat.com and ewt@redhat.com.
