So, the content issue is boiled down to two questions:

1. Does fortune-mod-firefly enhance the user experience? (I could see both sides
of this issue, but I'm leaning towards yes)
2. Is the content legally permissable?
I would say that this content falls safely under the guidelines of Fair Use, as
long as the upstream authors are clearly attributed. Right now, this is not the
case, but it would not be difficult to identify the authors from the various TV
scripts (Tim Minear, Joss Whedon, Ben Edlund, Jane Espenson, Drew Z. Greenberg,
Jose Molina, Cheryl Cain, Brent Matthews) and the movie script (Joss Whedon).

Also, I think we should not worry about the fact that this package is small. If
anything, we should worry less about it because it is so small.

So, Karen, here's what you need to do:

1. Clean up that spec file. It's really icky.
2. In the %description section of that package, make sure you give citations to
the authors of the scripts where your quotes originate.
3. Have your tarball just create a "firefly-mod" directory with those two files
included in it, as opposed to the current "usr/share/games/fortune/*" hierarchy
that it is currently using. Then, have your spec file make the correct target
directories and install those files into them (and use %files to annotate what
should be packaged in the rpm).

If you need help doing any of that, please feel free to let me know.
