Thanks for the review, Richard.

Interesting.  I don't get that when building on a real F15 machine (i.e., not
mock).  I wonder what the difference is.  Anyhow, I've gone with your suggested
change.

Complain bitterly to upstream.  Seriously.  I can't do anything about this
without changing the library's API.  This is a bad thing for a library to do,
but repairing it is upstream's job.

It is not identified specifically as MIT, no.  I just compared the terms in
dsdp-license to the various MIT variants listed here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing/MIT

This license appears to me to be substantially similar.  Still, we should
proceed with caution.  I'll ask about this license on fedora-legal-list.
