Apparently util-linux is similar to that, its README.licenses says:

The rules file simply specifies multiple licenses:

> UTIL_LINUX_NG_LICENSE := GPL-2.0, GPL-2.0+, GPL-3.0+, LGPL-2.0+, BSD-3-Clause, BSD-4-Clause, public_domain
> UTIL_LINUX_NG_LICENSE_FILES := \
>   file://Documentation/licenses/COPYING.GPLv2;md5=b234ee4d69f5fce4486a80fdaf4a4263 \
>   file://Documentation/licenses/COPYING.BSD-3;md5=58dcd8452651fc8b07d1f65ce07ca8af \
>   file://Documentation/licenses/COPYING.UCB;md5=263860f8968d8bafa5392cab74285262 \
