Right, SAGE just puts the headers into /usr/include/symmetrica and builds the
sources into a libsymmetrica.a. We want to do the same so we can link SAGE
against it (and that's what the specfile does).

The lack of a Makefile sucks, but I don't see it as a blocker, as the
instructions to build it are fairly simple.

The license mentioned in the specfile is actually MIT, not BSD. That's pretty
close to public domain. Either way, the license is definitely acceptable for
Fedora, it matters only for the text to write into the License tag. I'd suggest
just going with License: MIT. Making something truely public domain isn't
allowed under German copyright law (Urheberrechtsgesetz), which I assume is why
the MIT X11 license was used instead. But of course clarification can't hurt if
we can get it.

As for the warnings, I can try to fix them.
