Mantis (php) codebase includes a module which comes from a 3rd party project and is licensed with a "free for non commercial use" style clause which is, AFAICT, incompatible with the GPL. Is removing the offending file from the rpm package during %install enough?
Yes (imo).
On second thought, it probably ought to be removed from the source tarball, on the chance that possible commercial use makes the srpm non-re-distributable (depends on the exactly licensing terms, I guess).
Yeah, you'll need to remove it from the Source tarball. Just take it out of the Source tarball, rename it to note that it is modified, and make a comment in the spec file explaining why.
Ok. I assume this is to be done also upstream, that is, they can not continue shipping it in the same tarball?
