Yes, I see now that the guideline about javadoc can be understood in a couple
of ways:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Java/#_javadoc_installation

Since the main package is noarch, I agree it's fine as it is now.

There is a couple of ways this can be handled covered here:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/LicensingGuidelines/#_license_text

The thing is that a license file should be added independently of whether the
source files contain a license text/comment or not, since it's an aspect of
packaging. As a packager you *can* add the text of the MIT license as an extra
file to the package, for instance taking the license text included in one of
the source files.

Upstream inactivity is a different matter. I had a look at the GitHub
timestamps again and most files were modified 6-12 years ago. I'd say the
project is effectively dead, in which case responsibility for any bugfixes,
improvements, etc. lies with the packager :(.

For now please add an extra MIT license file with the %license macro and
contact upstream if possible.
