This builds fine for me and rpmlint is silent.  I cannot find any information
about the GPL version in use; where did you see anything stating a GPL version?

While verifiying the licensing issue, I found echolinux/gsm.h, which says:

 * Copyright 1992 by Jutta Degener and Carsten Bormann, Technische
 * Universitaet Berlin.  See the accompanying file "COPYRIGHT" for
 * details.  THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY FOR THIS SOFTWARE.

However, there is no accompanying COPYRIGHT file anywhere in the tarball.  I
think that without that, we have no rights to use or distribute this software. 
Also, do you know what libgsm.a is?  It looks to me as if it is simply linked
into the final application.

The above copyright issue and the libgsm.a thing make me seriously doubt that
this software is acceptable for Fedora.
