cf?

Drilled down to the actual SF page at it says it is MIT licensed. How do we
handle that? I ran into this problem on RPMFusion and the decision was to put
comments above the License: tag explaining which parts had what license.

The current naming was how the Suse maintainer set it up and I'm sure their
rules differ in many areas. For the purpose of the Fedora package I'll change
the name.
