--- Comment #16 from Richard W.M. Jones <[email protected]> ---
The spec file (a part of the Fedora project), the sources, and the binary
files/RPM(s)
produced by rpmbuild each have different licenses.

Usually we don't add a license notice to spec files and they are implicitly
licensed
under MIT, although see the link I posted before about exceptions to this.

The binaries are what License: refers to, and you need to specify that.  It is
copied into the headers of the binary RPMs and can be viewed using rpm -qip
foo.rpm

The source tarball often has the same or wider license as the binaries,
and that is defined by whatever license files are included in the tarball
and/or headers of source files.  This does not need to be specified in the
spec file, although in almost every case since it's the same as the binaries,
it'll be what License says too.
