Yes. rpmlint often causes false alarms.

OK. Now I see that optim-mini-howto-2.lyx specifies that it is under the GFDL.
But I also now notice that many files that were not examined by licensecheck
specify GPLv3+. So the correct tag is
 License: GPLv2+ and GPLv3+ and GFDL.

I don't see the point in shipping a LyX file (or the Makefile!), so you should
compile the documentation by adding
 BuildRequires: tex(latex)
and running
 make -C doc DVIPDF=dvipdf optim-mini-howto-2.pdf
in %build.

Then, at the end of %install run
 rm -rf  %{octpkgdir}/doc
to get rid of the unnecessary stuff, and add

%doc doc/optim-mini-howto-2.pdf doc/development/interfaces.txt

Even though the make process clearly compiles something, the compiler flags are
not shown. According to the man page, you should add -v flag to the mkoctfile
commands:

       -v, --verbose
               Echo commands as they are executed.

Then please file a bug against octave. Maybe the -nodeps flag needs to be added
to the octave_pkg_build macro.
