--- Comment #7 from Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek <zbyszek@xxxxxxxxx> ---
+ license is acceptable for Fedora (BSD)
+ license is specified correctly
  (there are some GPL and MIT/X11 files, but those are build scripts)
+ package name is OK
+ builds and install fine
+ R/P/BR look correct
+ scriptlets are sane
+ %check is present and passes

So the only non-trivial thing is the patent situation.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:LicensingGuidelines#Patented_Software
says that a written license grant is necessary.
https://gitlab.dkrz.de/k202009/libaec/blob/master/doc/patent.txt#L44 is such a
license grant, so it seems OK to include this in Fedora.

Right. But that's always true, for any software, and seems to be a standard
disclaimer that doesn't mean anything except that NASA allows use of the
algorithm, without making any promises on behalf of other parties.

Package is APPROVED.
