Note the following from a3load.hex:

# Cypress Semiconductor Corporation hereby grants a copyright license to
# use or redistribute this firmware image, in text or binary form as
# required, only in conjunction with devices using a Cypress USB
# microcontroller.  Every copy in any form of the firmware shall include
# Cypress copyright legends.

Now, it's not included in the final package, so that's OK.  But according to
this license, we can't even distribute the SRPM with it included, and you're
violating the license just by putting it on your web site.

This means that you have to actually strip the file from the tarball that you
package in the SRPM.  Include in your spec a comment on where the original
tarball comes from and some instructions on generating the stripped tarball from it.

Also, you need to specify the GPL version as detained in
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing.  I believe this package is "GPL version
2 or later" so the License: tag should contain "GPLv2+".

Otherwise I think this package is fine.
