Comment 2 Jakub Kadlčík 2022-01-03 23:27:45 UTC
There is a weird changelog entry at the end

    * Sun Dec 26 2021 msuchy <msuchy>
    - 

If I was nitpicking, I would say there is missing space in the
#for test comment and that there is an inconsistent number of blank
lines between sections. 

The fedora-review tool also complains about

    Issues:
    =======
    - If (and only if) the source package includes the text of the license(s)
    in its own file, then that file, containing the text of the license(s)
    for the package is included in %license.
    Note: License file license-validate is not marked as %license
    See: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-
    guidelines/LicensingGuidelines/#_license_text

Which I understand as a false-positive, and I think we can ignore it.
