autogen has a runtime dependency on autogen-libopts, while autogen-libopts-devel
has a similar dependency on autogen-libopts.

These are the files in the autogen:

%doc AUTHORS
%doc ChangeLog
%doc COPYING
%doc NEWS
%doc README
%doc THANKS
%doc TODO
%doc pkg/libopts/COPYING.gplv3
%{_bindir}/columns
%{_bindir}/getdefs
%{_bindir}/%{name}
%{_bindir}/xml2ag
%{_infodir}/%{name}.info.gz
%{_infodir}/%{name}.info-1.gz
%{_infodir}/%{name}.info-2.gz
%{_mandir}/man1/%{name}.1.gz
%{_mandir}/man1/columns.1.gz
%{_mandir}/man1/getdefs.1.gz
%{_mandir}/man1/xml2ag.1.gz

%dir %{_datadir}/%{name}
%{_datadir}/%{name}/stdoptions.def
%{_datadir}/%{name}/*.tpl


These are the files in autogen-libopts:

%doc pkg/libopts/COPYING.mbsd
%doc pkg/libopts/COPYING.lgplv3
%{_libdir}/libguileopts.so.*
%{_libdir}/libopts.so.*


These are the files in the autogen-libopts-devel:

%{_bindir}/autoopts-config
%{_datadir}/aclocal/autoopts.m4
%{_datadir}/aclocal/liboptschk.m4
%{_libdir}/libguileopts.so
%{_libdir}/libopts.so
%{_libdir}/pkgconfig/autoopts.pc
%{_mandir}/man1/autoopts-config.1.gz
%{_mandir}/man3/*

%dir %{_includedir}/autoopts
%{_includedir}/autoopts/options.h
%{_includedir}/autoopts/usage-txt.h


Moreover autogen is tagged as GPLv3+. (Some files are licensed under GPLv2+.
Some files are licensed under GPLv2+.) autogen-libopts and autogen-libopts-devel
are tagged as LGPLv3+. (Although sources are dual licensed with BSD, some
autogen generated files are only under LGPLv3+. We drop BSD to avoid multiple
licensing scenario.)

So I guess the clients do not have to bother about the GPL virus, since the
libraries are separated out in LGPL-ed packages.
