I'm still confused by this "goog" ...

Whether there are any precedents of inclusion into Fedora of packages which
names contain trade marks?

IANAL, but in the current legal atmosphere it would be better to try to ask the
upstream about this issue. I.e., is such a name is allowed (I guess yes), and
why "goog" is on SourceForge. The answer can be included as a file into %doc,
and this will close the issue forever. The same time it would be possible to ask
them to include a text of its license in the upstream distribution, or just to
give a url link to it.

Not understood... WTF "debuginfo packages" ??..

"make check" actually does two things: "make $(check_SCRIPTS)" and "make
check_TESTS". check_TESTS passed OK, but $(check_SCRIPTS) failed. I'll try to
figure out now, why.

Anyway, this package contains a check stuff. It is included to make sure that
the compiled things work correctly. Now, "make check" fails, it mean that
results are incorrect.
