This was nearly a decade ago, in the F21/F22 era. https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issue/411 > Which basically meant that we would always include the full declared > license of the project. This assumes the upstream tarball contains a file with the text of the license it is under. To the best of my knowledge, a packager should not use %license if this is not the case and no one should assume a package contains it. > Do you happen to know why after this the > License field was (also) kept? I believe the only thing discussed at the time was not implementing %license, due to it being seen as redundant to License.
