* rpmlint says:
E: gocr explicit-lib-dependency libjpeg
I posted a comment above asking for that Requires, I guess there is an
executable from libjpeg used for conversion.
* follow guidelines
X License is GPL, not included. You should ask upstream to include the
license file, otherwise he may not be able to defend his license.

Some file with an author and no license. This should be investigated 
and certainly corrected upstream. Except from otsu it is the upstream
author, so ther shouldn't be much trouble. Maybe the upstream author thinks
that no license means public domain, but it is not the case, he should
either remove the author notice or explicitly license it in the public 
domain.

otsu.c has no license but an author (in fact 2, as shown by looking at
the comments).
 the following code was send by Ryan Dibble <dibbler@xxxxxxxxx>

pnm.c has no license but an author
/* (c) Joerg Schulenburg 2000-2006

pcx.c and tga.c have no license but an author 
// Joerg Schulenburg Mai99
// Joerg Schulenburg Mai99

* build and run fine
* right Requires and BuildRequires. Maybe a comment explaining the
need for the requires could be in order.
* %files section right
* sane provides
* match upstream

The only remaining blocker is the license issue. A statement from
upstream and a promise to fix things for the next release would be 
enough for me.
