Much better now, thanks.

Huh, well that page is new to me.  I find the FSF's suggestions on how to cram
the GPL in to every piece of software is a little unnecessary.  If the license
is LGPL, just include that text.  But that's just me.  I have no problems if
you want to keep it this way.

Looks clean, will post updated rpmlint and build output.
