Some more notes:
- as noted in comment #1: don't use "Packager" and "Vendor"
- suggest using "srcname" rather than "real_name"

bcrypt.c, blowfish.c, pybc_blf.h in the source tarball has this clause in the
license  

 * 3. All advertising materials mentioning features or use of this software
 *    must display the following acknowledgement:
 *      This product includes software developed by Niels Provos.

This looks like a variant of the original BSD License (i.e. with the
advertising clause); see:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing/BSD#BSDwithAdvertising
which is incompatible with both GPLv2 and GPLv3.

>From the README:
"py-bcrypt is licensed under a ISC/BSD licence. The underlying Blowfish
and password hashing code is taken from OpenBSD's libc. See the LICENSE
file for details."

I'm not exactly what the "License" field should read to reflect this, but "GPL"
appears to be incorrect here.
