Okay, you've convinced me!  Go ahead and leave in the .mbox file.  As you
noted, the rpmlint report is a warning not an error.

Looking back at the guidelines, The guidelines require that spec files and
filenames be encoded in UTF-8, but the guildelines don't require that arbitrary
files be in UTF-8.  I think it's important to transition to UTF-8 if there's no
easy way for readers to determine the correct encoding (e.g., .txt files), so I
think it makes sense for rpmlint to do this check.  But clearly, in .mbox
format you DO get that information, and I think you've got a good argument for
keeping it in the original format (trying to keep the authentic info about
licensing).

Thanks for adding the mbox stuff.  I'm really sensitive to the licensing stuff,
and I think this makes it abundantly clear that there is no problem.
