> There is not %license.
The %license macro exists, the reason:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Use_license_macro_in_RPMs_for_packages_in_Cloud_Image

Related FPC ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/411

The directory /usr/share/licenses where the license files resides is owned by
the "filesystem" package.

It is intended to get the docs separate from the license, so the latter (which
is mandatory) goes into the cloud image, and the docs will be dropped to get
additional space. Well, whether someone includes this package in a cloud image
doesn't matter. Next time all of the Fedora packages will be migrated, see the
last sentence in the mentioned wiki page:

»Migration of other packages to this new standard will be on a best-effort
basis, so many packages will continue to have license files under
/usr/share/docs and not in the new location.«

This may take some time... But now while trying to get a new package into
Fedora, I use the new macro already from now on. Moreover, I have already
changed some of the other packages maintained or co-maintained by me.
