URL and Source0 are usable. Ok.
Source tar ball is original (SHA-256: a81b0fb1d659ed57f6981d790b944dbf294599fea14bcbf799d4c72ccae78d5c). Ok.
Summary verified from lib/Clone/PP.pm. Ok.
Description verified from lib/Clone/PP.pm. Ok.

Please clarify this issue with upstream and Fedora legal department. Or remove the tests from the source tarbal and document it in the spec file.

Comment 3 David Dick 2014-07-17 07:31:31 UTC
Interesting.

I'll block this as FE-Legal to clarify if it is permissible for parts of the test suite to be under the Artistic 1.0 while the rest of the package is under the "GPL+ or Artistic", with the Artistic 1.0 files not being distributed in the resulting RPM.

Comment 4 Petr Pisar 2014-07-17 07:34:40 UTC
Don't forget Fedora distributes source RPM too. And the dist-git source cache is publicly available too.

Comment 5 David Dick 2014-07-17 08:54:27 UTC
Yup.  I've also emailed all the authors of the files in question to see if i can get a license change for the files in question.

Comment 6 David Dick 2014-07-21 06:32:31 UTC
Original author of these files has agreed to re-license, and upstream has shipped a new package reflecting the updated license. 

Many thanks to all involved.
