Damn :)

Here are the ; ones, with a proposed change:

package/lttng-babeltrace/lttng-babeltrace.mk
-LTTNG_BABELTRACE_LICENSE = MIT; LGPLv2 for include/babeltrace/list.h;
GPLv3+ for formats/ctf/metadata/ctf-parser.h
+LTTNG_BABELTRACE_LICENSE = MIT, LGPLv2 (include/babeltrace/list.h),
GPLv3+ (formats/ctf/metadata/ctf-parser.h)

package/nodejs/nodejs.mk
NODEJS_LICENSE = MIT (core code); MIT, Apache and BSD family licenses
(Bundled components)

package/redis/redis.mk
REDIS_LICENSE = BSD-3c (core); MIT and BSD family licenses (Bundled components)

These two are the mixed case, not sure what the best way is. Maybe use -- ?

package/lttng-tools/lttng-tools.mk
-LTTNG_TOOLS_LICENSE = GPLv2; LGPLv2.1 for include/lttng/* and
src/lib/lttng-ctl/*
+LTTNG_TOOLS_LICENSE = GPLv2, LGPLv2.1 (include/lttng/, src/lib/lttng-ctl/)

package/lttng-modules/lttng-modules.mk
-LTTNG_MODULES_LICENSE = LGPLv2.1/GPLv2 for kernel modules; MIT for
lib/bitfield.h and lib/prio_heap/*
+LTTNG_MODULES_LICENSE = LGPLv2.1/GPLv2 (kernel modules), MIT
(lib/bitfield.h, lib/prio_heap/)

package/liburcu/liburcu.mk
-LIBURCU_LICENSE = LGPLv2.1+ for the library; MIT-like license for few
source files listed in LICENSE
+LIBURCU_LICENSE = LGPLv2.1+ (library), MIT-like (a few source files
listed in LICENSE)

package/lttng-libust/lttng-libust.mk
-LTTNG_LIBUST_LICENSE = LGPLv2.1; GPLv2 for lttng-gen-tp and ust-ctl
+LTTNG_LIBUST_LICENSE = LGPLv2.1, GPLv2 (lttng-gen-tp, ust-ctl)

Best regards,
