--- Comment #9 from Jan Synacek <jsynacek@xxxxxxxxxx> ---
Ok, all looks well now.

Regarding the LICENSE file, according to
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:LicensingGuidelines:

"If the source package includes the text of the license(s) in its own file,
then that file, containing the text of the license(s) for the package must be
included in %doc. If the source package does not include the text of the
license(s), the packager should contact upstream and encourage them to correct
this mistake."

And:

"However, in situations where upstream is unresponsive, unable, or unwilling to
provide proper full license text as part of the source code, and the indicated
license requires that the full license text be included, Fedora Packagers must
either:

Include a copy of what they believe the license text is intended to be, as part
of the Fedora package in %doc, in order to remain in compliance. It is worth
noting that this may place some additional risk on the packager, however,
Fedora believes that this risk is minimized by the fact that if the upstream
disagrees with what we have distributed as the full license text, they can
easily remedy this by making full license text available in the source code.
Packagers who choose to do this should ensure that they have exhausted all
attempts to work with upstream to include the license text as part of the
source code, or at least, to confirm the full license text explicitly with the
upstream, as this minimizes the risk on the packager. Packagers should also
take copies of license texts from reliable and canonical sources (such as the
Fedora Software Licenses page, the FSF licenses page, or the OSI license list),
whenever possible.
Choose not to package that software for Fedora."

This suggests that there hasn't have to be a LICENSE file included in the
source, and that you *are* allowed to add one in some cases.

I didn't find any mention of license anywhere in the code, apart from includes
and code taken from other sources. I think it would be OK to add a LICENSE file
to the package, but I leave the decision to the packager.

APPROVING.
