How large exactly?

In the same "Copyright only" category, in Fedora main repositories, I 
see something like 100 packages with ~20 license combinations from ~30 
projects. Is that right?

Most of these mention other copyright tags as well, so the "Copyright 
only" parts of those packages may be large or small. A few don't mention 
anything else though: for instance TeX Live packages, man-pages-ko, 
symlinks and perl-Crypt-Blowfish (BSD variants focused on the 
advertising clause? It has a few dependencies: 
https://metacpan.org/requires/module/Crypt::Blowfish ).

Best regards,
	Federico

P.s.: First message for me here, though I met several of you all a few 
times at FOSDEM and CopyleftConf and I've been reading this list for 
Wikimedia purposes for a while. I hope I'm doing this right!

P.p.s.: Quick queries.
