GLEW is not ok for Fedora as is, this has been discussed with Tom "spot"
Callaway, who is the authority on this several times. So yes blocking FE-legal
would be a very good idea, except that the answer is no. GLEW is not acceptable.

But ... I got here, because Tibbs pointed to this review after I submitted glew
myself, see bug 251191 . The version of glew I submitted however has got several
encumbered parts removed / replaced, and has been approved legal wise by Spot.

Which brings us to the question how to move on from here, we could use this
version and merge in the necessary changes from mine, or start with my version,
either is fine by me.

About the GPL/BSD license questions, see the README I've added to my package,
the GPL only applies to the scripts used to autogenerate some of the code. The
code itself and thus the GLEW lib + headers is BSD.
