OK, the license is fixed, but the tarball still does not match the upstream tarball.

If you have a Source0: url of 
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/%{name}/%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz
then I simply must be able to download that tarball and get exactly, byte for
byte, what you are including in the srpm.  It is not acceptable for you to
modify that tarball in any way unless it contains content which we cannot
legally distribute.

If you are packaging something out of upstream SVN, we have rules about how you
document that.  You certainly cannot use the same version name because what you
want to distribute is not the same as what upstream ships with that version.  So
please see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/NamingGuidelines.  And if you
are going to package an SVN checkout then we also have rules about how you
document that so that I can make the same SVN checkout as you made:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/SourceURL.

But honestly, do you have some compelling reason not to just ship what upstream
ships?  Just use their tarball in place of whatever you are trying to package.
