This builds OK for me, and the licensing as you have it seems OK to me. 
Specifically, this package is BSD+Advertising.  It wants to link against:

curl-devel - MIT, OK.
expat-devel - MIT, OK.
fuse-devel - GPL (license tag needs an update, but not OK, already commented 
  out in the spec)
libewf-devel - BSD+Adv, OK.
ncurses-devel - MIT, OK.
openssl-devel - OpenSSL, OK.
readline-devel - GPLv2+, not OK, already commented out in spec.
zlib-devel - zlib (although license tag says BSD), OK.

So I believe this package is OK license-wise as long as it doesn't build against
fuse or readline.  Perhaps someone could make it build against libedit instead.
 Still rather uncool for upstream to even allow it to link against GPL stuff. 
They could have chosen a license that would have allowed that, but they chose
not to because they insist on the annoying advertising clause.  Has anyone
brought that to their attention?

But sleuthkit itself, I've no idea, and you'll have to ask spot or submit a
review ticket and have it block FE-Legal.
