+ rpmlint must be run on every package.
  rpmlint is NOT silent:
 [matej at viklef redhat]$ rpmlint SRPMS/vlna-1.3-1.fc11.src.rpm
 vlna.src: W: invalid-license TeX-like

The license is (in Czech):

Program poskytuji k veřejnému použití. Pokud někdo udělá užitečné
změny ve zdrojovém textu CWEB, chtěl bych být o tom informován. Bez
souhlasu autora nemůže být změněný program šířen pod stejným názvem.

Nedávám žádnou záruku, že program nepoškodí mnohahodinovou práci,
kterou uživatelé editovali. Program sice vytváří zálohové soubory, ale
ty se při dalším použití programu mažou.

and in English:

The program may be freely used. If somebody makes useful changes
in the CWEB source code, I want to be informed about it. The
modified version must not be distributed under the same name
without author's consent. Neither the program nor its modification
must be selled.

The author gives no warranty that the program will not damage your
file that you have been editing for many hours. Although the program
creates backup files, these files are deleted after subsequent use
of the program.

---

English is pretty bad, but as both of us can see it more or less faithfully
conveyes the meaning in Czech. And unfortunately "Neither the program nor its
modification must be selled." says to me pretty clearly (English is horrible,
but Czech text is clear in this) that it could be distributed only
non-commercially, which for Fedora (and other Linux distros) unfortunately
means stop sign.

Closing this review as WONTFIX, because there is not much we can do about it.
Please, try to persuade Petr as the upstream author to relicense under some
more common (e.g., OSI/FSF approved) license.

I am really sorry about this, but there is not much we can do about this.
