Some comments:

*-devel is missing "Requires: pkgconfig"

But ... I am having a problem with this package's licence.

You spec says "GPL", the tarball contains a copy of the GPL's COPYING, but the
sources say:

 * Permission is granted to anyone to use this software for any purpose,
 * including commercial applications, and to alter it and redistribute it
 * freely, subject to the following restrictions:
 *
 * 1. The origin of this software must not be misrepresented; you must not
 *    claim that you wrote the original software. If you use this software
 *    in a product, an acknowledgment in the product documentation would be
 *    appreciated but is not required.
 * 2. Altered source versions must be plainly marked as such, and must not be
 *    misrepresented as being the original software.
 * 3. This notice may not be removed or altered from any source distribution.

In my understanding, §1 and §3 are non critical, but §2 could be read a imposing
additional constraits, i.e. as violation of the GPL, which would render shipping
this package under the GPL impossible.
