[Fedora-legal-list] QPL with exceptions

The ocaml-menhir package has some code that is covered by QPL, but
with an exception.  The LICENSE file says:

As a special exception to the Q Public Licence, you may develop
application programs, reusable components and other software items
that link with the original or modified versions of the Generator
and are not made available to the general public, without any of the
additional requirements listed in clause 6c of the Q Public licence.

Should I describe this as QPL, or does this call for a "QPL with
exceptions" tag?  Rpmlint says the latter is (currently) invalid.
Thanks,
