I have no problem helping out or discussing the SPEC file. I am pretty
sure that a lot of improvements can be made and flow back.

I also have no problem if the RPMforge SPEC files are to be used by other
projects, and I know some people have done this. I do not feel that the
SPEC files contain anything 'special'. In fact, I would not be surprised
if people can come up with (almost) exactly the same SPEC file for a
project. So I don't feel the need to add a license or copyright, you can
think of the SPEC file as being in the public domain.

In fact, I prefer that people use existing SPEC files and improve on them
so that at least different packages have the same basis (and naming). I
welcome feedback and ideas, but can understand to need for control and
authority within a seperate project.
