--- Comment #2 from Tom Rix <trix@xxxxxxxxxx> ---
There are at least 2 other cmark's.. what's one more ?
It would be good if cmark-gfm.spec was consistent with cmark.spec, with
additions to the description on why a user would want to use this version over
the the other.  It's github's fork.  Why would someone want to use this ? 
Looking for something simple like .. 'Needed to run this or that github
workflow .. ' added to the description.

I looked at houdini.
Would it be worth its own package ?

Review the houdini source and the list of files that are claimed to have an MIT
license.
It looks like cmark and cmark-gfm's use a derivative of houdini's buffer.*
The copyright boiler plate from houdini has been stripped from the cmark
version.

/*                                                                              
 * Copyright (C) the libgit2 contributors. All rights reserved.                 
 *                                                                              
 * This file is part of libgit2, distributed under the GNU GPL v2 with          
 * a Linking Exception. For full terms see the included COPYING file.           
 */ 

gpl v2 != mit
And stripping copyrights is not good.
This license and copyright problem should be resolved in the upstream.
If it can't, then add gpl v2 to the license list in the rpm, with a detail
explanation on the provenance of the buffer files.
This also effects the other cmark's in fedora.
