--- Comment #12 from Richard W.M. Jones <rjones at redhat.com>  2009-11-09 05:03:45 EDT ---
I looked at the actual code and what the author has done is
to take an earlier BSD licensed program ("tywith") and has
substantially derived from and rewritten that code to produce
this package.

The new package is entirely licensed under LGPLv2+ with
the standard OCaml linking exception.

In all the files that were derived from tywith there is an
acknowledgement of the earlier provenance of the code,
but there are no separate files that are still BSD licensed.

Therefore I have changed the license to:

License:        LGPLv2+ with exceptions

I made the other changes as you suggested.

SRPM URL: http://www.annexia.org/tmp/ocaml/ocaml-bin-prot-1.2.20-2.fc11.src.rpm 

* Mon Nov  9 2009 Richard W.M. Jones <rjones at redhat.com> - 1.2.20-2
- The final license of the code is LGPLv2+ with the OCaml linking
  exception.  It was derived from earlier BSD code.
- Don't duplicate the license files across base and -devel packages.
- Add note to spec about inclusion of *.ml file in -devel package.
