In case you are sure, you may file a bug also and notify maintainer about it, and expedite the process of fixing things quickly. In case you have some queries ping fedora-legal.

If your concern is that the "GPLv2-only" notice on dlm_internal.h is causing a GPLv2/GPLv3 license incompatibility here (I have no opinion on that issue) - to the extent that Red Hat holds copyright in that code (including Sistina copyrights acquired by Red Hat), it is available as "GPLv2 or later", despite what the notice says.
Cheers, Richard
Thanks, that was my concern!
