But there is no reference to John H. Bradley, or to 
the University of Pennsylvania. No licence seems to fit with
math.c. Said otherwise there are a lot of licences in the file, but
none seems to be selectable for math.c.

In that case adding a source file, with a full url seems the 
best to me. But I disagree that this file closes the issue.

That's weird. It may be worth debugging on its own, but it isn't
a blocker for the package.
 

> name of the package is xcalc, does it still need a corresponding provides?

The 
Provides: xcalc = %{version}
is certainly unneeded, but you can add, if you like,
Provides: xorg-x11-xcalc = %{version}

In my opinion, the licence is still an issue.
