There is no requirement for a URL tag; if there is no upstream home page then it
would be pointless to include a URL.

The word "crap" does not appear in the package's summary, just this bugzilla
ticket.  (Check the specfile and you'll see.)

One thing that concerns me is that the software is dated 1999, the upstream
tarball lives in a directory named "dontuse", and the package includes a
root-owned setuid binary.  I'm not competent to evaluate this software for
vulnerabilities, but it would be good to know the potential exposure.

However, the license (or general lack thereof) is indeed troubling, and without
clarification I think this does render this package unacceptable for extras. 
The PAM stuff is indicated to be GPL (but carries no license statement that I
can see), md5.* is public domain, and the rest is pretty much indeterminate.
