Here I am! and here are the new SPEC and SRPM:

New SPEC URL: http://www.claudiotomasoni.it/files/RPMS/octaviz.spec
New SRPM URL: http://www.claudiotomasoni.it/files/RPMS/octaviz-0.4.7-4.fc8.src.rpm

The fixes are:
- license is GPLv2+ (GPL 2 or later in README)
- vtk paths are detected automatically at package compiling time (both
/usr/lib/vtk-5.0 and /usr/share/vtkdata-5.0.4 - but I'm still thinking to a more
reliable way)
- in order to be able to determine the paths, both vtk and vtkdata have been
added as build requirements

Non fixed:
- vtkdata is required only for octaviz-examples, since the most popular
functions (vtk_plot, vtk_mesh, vtk_surf, and related) do not need it, while many
examples included in the examples subpackage can't run without it.
- name not changed in octave-octaviz. I know octaviz is an octave addon, but
many people would simply look for "octaviz" since this is the official name of
the project (the name people read in the official site and in ?many? forums or
newsgroups dedicated to engineering). Anyway, if someone consider this a
blocker, I will change the name (I don't know how to explain it, the name is a
sort of placard).

Waiting for new comments...
