The license cited in
https://guix.gnu.org/en/packages/dialog-1.3-20201126/
is incorrect. The developer in this change
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/gnu/packages/ncurses.scm?id=44298269baae6cb8bbaa19e504f391c74cf5729b
was apparently unfamiliar with the exception in config.guess and config.sub:
# As a special exception to the GNU General Public License, if you
# distribute this file as part of a program that contains a
# configuration script generated by Autoconf, you may include it under
# the same distribution terms that you use for the rest of that
# program. This Exception is an additional permission under section 7
# of the GNU General Public License, version 3 ("GPLv3").
Fix by deleting the line mentioning "Automake", and removing "gpl3" from
the following line:
;; Includes the gpl3 file "config.sub" from Automake.
(license (list lgpl2.1 gpl3))))
