(In reply to comment #3, #4)
PD> It is used to link against the library with -lsim at build time. 
PD> It is not used at runtime.
Even as used! I'm just delete (rename) it:
$ sim
sim: error while loading shared libraries: libsim.so.0: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory

MM> 1/ rpmlint is quite talkative :) .so is devel file for him.
I also think in this case.

PD> one have to install the devel package to link against the library.
PD> The file used at runtime should be like 
PD> 
PD> /usr/lib/libsim.so.?????
In is /usr/lib/libsim.so.0.0.0
with 2 symlinks on it:
/usr/lib/libsim.so.0
and
/usr/lib/libsim.so

PD> This one is up to you, leave it in if you prefer to.
MM> 2/ it's only warning, you can ignore it. Normally install the file in %doc
Ok, I leave it.

PD> The source of information, here, are the file headers, and the
PD> README or the like that should state the author's intention.
PD> If there is nothing else that 'this is under the GPL', this means
PD> GPL+
PD> that is any version of the GPL, and not GPLv2.
MM> 3/ You need to check license in code and COPYING in source tarball.
File COPYING contains text of GPL2. It is a file, about I say "included in
source text of license" before.

MM>Maybe you should contact upstream about it.
Off course, in case if we can't make decision here.
