Hello,

I experienced the following when I tried to use your spec file on
Fedora Core 4:
$ rpmbuild -bp /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/Speex.spec
error: Legacy syntax is unsupported: copyright
error: line 9: Unknown tag: Copyright: BSD
$ rpmbuild --version
RPM version 4.4.1
The tag "Copyright" stopped working in rpm version 4.4, which was
released in Dec 2004.
The tag "License" seems to be present in rpm CVS since 1998, so it
should work with most rpm versions. The book ``Maximum RPM,''
published in 1997, doesn't mention it, though.
Have a nice day,
Stepan Kasal
