--- Comment #4 from José Matos <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Iñaki Ucar from comment #2) > One question. From the Octave guidelines, it is not clear to me whether the > COPYING file needs to be marked with %license. It says it is expected under > the packinfo directory, but then only this directory is listed in the > template. In fact, other existing packages do have the COPYING file, but > it's not explicitly listed. E.g., > https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/octave-statistics/blob/master/f/octave- > statistics.spec > > $ dnf repoquery -l octave-statistics | grep COPYING > /usr/share/octave/packages/statistics-1.4.1/packinfo/COPYING There are two issues here. 1) Most of the these packages have been submitted before the introduction of the %license field. 2) The requirement to add %license when a file is present applies to all fedora packages. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/LicensingGuidelines/ This is quite similar to the R packages in this regard, the license file is present in some directory and also identified as %license. I hope that this makes sense and answers your question. :-) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
