This program is licensed under LGPLv2+ according to the COPYING file.

Typically warnings like this can be ignored as they are intentionally spelled
this way. Spelling them any other way would not make sense in the description.

rpmlint should also be run on ALL packages including the spec.

Running rpmlint on all files yields 3 warnings and 1 error.

archivemount.i686: W: invalid-license GPL
archivemount.src: W: invalid-license GPL
archivemount-debuginfo.i686: W: invalid-license GPL
archivemount-debuginfo.i686: E: debuginfo-without-sources

Fix the first 3 warnings by changing the license in the spec to LGPLv2+
and rebuilding the srpm. I'm not sure how to fix the error as I did not
dig too deep.

I am not a sponsor I just wanted to point out a few things I noticed.
