odd RPM specfile behavior

Hello,

I noticed some odd behavior while building an RPM package.  The specfile 
contains
the following line:

    License: (c) Copyright IBM Corp. 2001-2010 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

However, when I build and install the package and use "rpm -qi" to view 
the package
information, the license is shown as:

    (c) Copyright IBM Corp. 2010-2010 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

Notice that the "2001-2010" has been changed to "2010-2010".  Why the 
strange behavior?
Is there a workaround?

Thanks,
Dave
