Seth,
there is not real issue per se. For the reviewer's piece of mind it
would be better if you explicitly confirmed (as the person who checked
in the files with missing preambles) that you didn't intend to put them
under a different license than the rest of the Yum project (GPLv2+).
Can you please confirm that?
Thank you,
Ales
