Hi,<br><br>
Are you using Custom in an attempt to silent rpmlint ?<br>
Does that work ?<br><br>
Because <span class="il">I</span> don't see "much" interest in having the Custom word in the<br><span class="il">License</span> field.<br>
Once that said that's suggest to read the <span class="il">package</span> <span class="il">license</span> to get a<br>
complete idea of the rights and duties over the <span class="il">license</span>.<br><br>
