Upstream is now willing to release their software, Teal, with a LGPLv2+ license. They want to know if them sending an e-mail is sufficient for us to package the same for Fedora, or anything else is required?
Nope, that's fine. Just include a copy of the email where they give permission for use under the LGPLv2+ terms as a Source file in the Teal package, and include it as %doc.
I suggested that it will good if they could mention and include the LGPLv2+ license information in the source code.
If they do this, you do not need to include their email in the package.
