I received the following from the author:

My question is -- is this sufficient?  Should I include this in a README file
with the package to indicate the correct licensing?  I don't know that upstream
is interested in releasing a new version simply to address this.

Let me know what you think.  I'll read over the Fedora licensing guidelines as
well to see if there's some instruction there.

Thanks.
