Before slandering anyone, now I see that packages in home:dl8fcl:hamradio
have the following header:

#
# spec file for package foo
#
# Copyright (c) 2017 Walter Fey DL8FCL
#
# This file is under MIT license

Is this the reeason why OBS doesn't want it? Would packman?
Can Walter Fey confirm this?

And on that I fully agree. It seems to me trying to find a modus vivendi
with OBS would be a much fruitful employment of everyone's time:)
