Dear legal,
my reviewer has raised a question about the package license. As I can only argue with my, likely flawed opinion, could you state whether the following terms are acceptable for Fedora and what License tag should be used?
# The following code may be freely used and distributed provided that # this copyright and citation notice remains intact and that modifications # or additions are clearly identified.
Thank you, Petr

Poorly worded, but barely Free and GPL compatible. Use:
License: XPLL

Thank you for quick response. I'd like to notice that the piece of XML::Parser::Lite code comes from Robert D. Cameron's REX project, including the license http://www.cs.sfu.ca/~cameron/REX.html#AppA. So I guess more approriate name would reflect the origin than the bundling project. Asking Google search engine https://www.google.com/search?hl=cs&q=%22The+following+code+may+be+freely+used+and+distributed+provided+that%22 returns various implementations borrowing the REX code and the license.

We've renamed it to the REX license, thanks. Use: License: REX
