Oh my, you are right. This is a showstopper. I'm contacting upstream to see
whether they have any plans to migrate to free implementations.

Is there an automatic tool to check the licenses of the source files?

OK. Funny, I based my SPEC on the SRPM available from the Octopus website.
You'd think the developers had their licenses right..

Used the one from upstream SRPM. My bad.
