AFAIK this is somewhat debatable, since we're not linking statically. Even more
dubious is the case where you dlopen() the library. AFAIK the Fedora convention
is pretty much to mark the license field as the license that is produced by the
sources in the current package, linkage is not considered here at all.

But in this case the README is pretty clear about the license - even though it
goes against the license boilerplates.

Yup, but did you send this already upstream?
