Hello Andrea,
when I packaged cococpp I stumbled upon this paragraph in the text:

which I had not read in another GPL license file I read so far, so I
decided to include it to the package in order to avoid any legal
problems.

As namcap always throwed a unnecessary warning if only the Maintainer
tag was set, I decided to simply set both because I thought it wouldn't
disturb anyone and I had a warning less when I was proving my packages.

As Stefan already said, he told me to set a custom in front of the
license I will change that when it is clarified how it should be.

I'll upload a new structorizer package with a fixed description in the
next few minutes.

For the usage of both methods(build and package), I thought it's much
nicer to read for people who are new to Arch and read their first
PKGBUILDs and as the packages didn't need fakeroot to build I used it. 

Regards
