Thanks for the rapid inclusion, tips and fixes (I should learn more about libtool and pkgconfig).
No worries; pkgconfig is easy to forget, since everybody already has it installed. One of the reasons why we have the buildbots is to catch problems like these so that we can quickly fix them before users notice.
Good catch, I hadn't even looked. I based my portfile on the explicit statement "GPL v2" on the webpage.
I will side with you, I assume this is just a mistake from upstream and not a willful decision to make the entire package GPL v2 except some files GPL v2+. There are 4 header files that do not have their own license but they are headers of source files that are indeed GPL v2+ so this cannot be meaningful.
I am asking upstream for clarification, will keep you posted.
There's also the manpage which says: {{{ LICENCE dfu-util is covered by the GNU General Public License (GPL), version 2 or later. }}} -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/37321#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
