Hardly. To unbundle sgp4 code would need to write and provide a Makefile
ourselves, since upstream only provides Visual Studio project file. And I'm not
going to attempt that, as I don't know how to do that.
I should have, however, put a "Provides: bundled()" tag, will fix that.

I assume it is Public Domain. From upstream FAQ at
https://celestrak.org/publications/AIAA/2006-6753/faq.php :
"There is no license associated with the code and you may use it for any
purpose—personal or commercial—as you wish. We ask only that you include
citations in your documentation and source code to show the source of the code
and provide links to the main page, to facilitate communications regarding any
questions on the theory or source code."
Indeed, python-sgp4 should put a note somewhere to cite source code URL.

> d) No Requires: %{name}%{?_isa} = %{version}-%{release} in python3-sgp4

Unversioned python-sgp4 doesn't exist (is empty), so I don't think this is
necessary.


Let me know if you think it's absolutely necessary to unbundle sgp4, in that
case I can retire this review request. Otherwise, I'll ask fedora-legal to
review sgp4 license and fix the  specfile.
