I don't know the author at all, but from his mail to this bug I don't think you can't blame him. His wording is inappropriate, but he has a point: If every single file in a source tarball has a license information, a separate LICENSE or COPYING file is nice, but not necessary at all. The other issue is a question of rpm/Fedora packaging policy which I can't comment on. Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Single Molecule Spectroscopy, Protein Folding @ Inst. f. Biochemie, Univ.
