This code seems to be confused about how it is licensed.  Note that the LICENSE
file contains the LGPL (v2) but the code itself says:
 * This code may be freely redistributed under the terms of the
 * GNU General Public License.
and this agrees with the README:
  This software may be freely distributed under the terms of
  the GNU General Public License (GPL).

No version is specified anywhere, so GPL+ would seem to apply.  Can you clarify
with upstream?

I'm inclined to say it's best to simply pretend that LICENSE file is not there
at all.  The guidelines say that the text of the license(s) must be included if
its there at all, but this isn't the text of the code's license, it's some
other license.

This also suffers from the compiler flags problem; easily fixed by changing the
make line to:
  make CCFLAGS="%{optflags}" %{?_smp_mflags}
