Well, this is a fun mess. Cryptlib is dual-licensed under the Sleepycat license
or a closed-"commercial" license. Since we're fine with the Sleepycat license,
Fedora can happily just use it under those terms.

The Brainpool curves are a problem. They need to be cleaned out of cryptlib
before it can be included. Not just disabled, or not used, but the source
cleaned of implementations. Nothing in cryptobone seems to depend on them. I've
made a cleaned zip file for the cryptlib source. You'll need to make a new
tarball for cryptobone that either has no bundled cryptlib zip file, or
replaces the one it has now with one that does not include brainpool.
