[Fedora-packaging] python bundled library question

I'm in the middle of reviewing 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=751925 python-tables and 
came Toshio's useful link 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Toshio/Unbundling_Python_Modules

The maintainer has licensed the package as multi-license BSD and AFL - 
on investigating it seems to included another file from a package here 
http://evan.prodromou.name/Software/Python/LRUCache, however the 
python-table developers have modified it significantly for there own 
use, albeit with the same file and class name.

Does this still constitute a bundled library or is it OK to include as is?

The file in question lrucache.py is released under the AFL license and 
is attributed correctly in the python-tables source (by way of a copy 
of the original lrucache license).

thanks for your help

Brendan
