As for the licensing, rather than rebase the tarball, I just updated the spec
to reflect the code currently in the tarball. Core xz command is PD + LGPL code
linked together, therefore it's LGPL. Similarly for the libraries. The only GPL
code is the lz* scripts, which are in the compat package.

Obviously, those license tags can change when the code is rebased.
