* Would be fine to name it "ExpatImpl" with no main package but a -devel
subpackage. There are no guidelines that require the name to be converted to
lower-case.


* Licensing situation is unclear. Upstream .zip doesn't contain or mention the
BSD licence that is specified in the .spec file. There's just a copyright
notice in the single C++ header file. In the upstream msg boards the authors
writes:

| By definition, all code posted to CodeProject is free to use.
| These days I use the BSD non-adware license.
| So feel free to use the code as you wish.
|
| [...]

"Free to use" doesn't imply "BSD".

Though, if you choose the BSD licence for the Fedora package, an added
explanation would be good.
