Rancid 2.3.8 is licensed as BSD with advertising. However, I was

It seems to me that this is a potentially non-free addition. The
original sources can be found here:

Yeah, that clause needs to be removed or we need to remove rancid from
Fedora. (Or, if it is still useful without etc/rancid.types.base, just
nuke that file from the SRPM).
