"You don't." ;) (as quoted from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1797455/how-to-put-license-agreement-in-spec-file-rpm ) Eric mentioned another stackoverflow URL, too. Note that shell archive (shar-style) package generators (STGZ, STBZ2 etc.) do have a license acknowledge step, though. If you do feel the urge to add this to an explicitly automation-capable mechanism (e.g. RPM), then definitely make sure to check for non-interactive shell environment, as Eric said. Philosophically spoken you could say that since you need to prevent non-interactive installs from getting blocked, this means that one user group will be prompted, whereas another user group (with installation carried out automatically) will not have any license acknowledgement step. IOW, this strongly hints at RPM install step being the wrong place to do such things.
