Spot is right in that they are covered by the CLA, 1. The CLA is a bilateral contract. It is invisible to arbitrary users wanting to use these specs. 2. The CLA's applicability is controversial (compatibiltiy) wrt. some licenses, esp. GPL'ed packages.

Further questions arise from Fedora maintainers reusing/modifying upstream specs and/or specs from other origins (e.g. other distros). They can be covered by other copyrights/licenses (e.g. the GPL). > The end goal is simply to allow others to take the Fedora spec files > and use them in other projects.
