I think so too, partially. Even the distribution of only the library underlies the GPL (in case the GPL is selected license) and having that file as %doc should not hurt (ok, space on the disk excluded) The readme, imho, is a bit trickier, as in many cases they contain not really information for the end user, but more for the packager / library builder or for developers. So having a readme in the libbla does not make to much sense. They will probably more go in a corresponding -devel package then.
