Or you could just get rid of your silly rules which discriminate against
packages for no real reason.

The license is clearly posted in the spec file and in every .c file in the
package.  The correct procedure for checking the license of a package on an
RPM-based system is "rpm -q --qf '%{LICENSE}\n' <package>".  If that works and
returns a standard response ("GPL," "BSD," "MIT," or similar), there should be
no problem.

Furthermore, the following requirements are just stupid and demonstrate either
pointless fascism on the part of your policy makers or flaws in the design of
your build system:

> - BuildRoot should be
%{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n)
> - The BuildRoot must be cleaned at the beginning of %install

The build system, not the individual RPM's, should ensure that the buildroot
path is unique and clean prior to invoking rpmbuild.
