Further issues:
- %{optflags} are not honored:
  + /usr/bin/make
    gcc -c -g -O2 -Wall -DTLF_FONTS -DDEFAULTFONTDIR=\"/usr//share/figlet\" \
 -DDEFAULTFONTFILE=\"standard\" -o figlet.o figlet.c
- utf8.* has license ISC
- Please write specifically which files have which license as comment in the
spec file (Didn't found a file in the tarball, which would describe that...)
- I'm +1 for the split into figlet-fonts, mentioned in comment #9.

(In reply to comment #13)

Who "considers [them] insufficently creative to copyright"?
I'm highly suggesting blocking FE-LEGAL and being sure that the licensing
issues are clear, when you have added the comment to the spec file, which file
has which license...
