The conflict existed before:
# rpm -qf /usr/share/licenses/kernel-core/COPYING
kernel-core-4.15.13-300.fc27.x86_64
kernel-core-4.15.15-300.fc27.x86_64
AFAICT the files were identical, but the content changed between f27:
d7810fab7487fb0aad327b76f1be7cd7  /usr/share/licenses/kernel-core/COPYING
and f29:
bbea815ee2795b2f4230826c0c6b8814  ./usr/share/licenses/kernel-core/COPYING
(in fact the file is completely different).

This can be traced to upstream's commit "COPYING: use the new text
with points to the license files" from 2018-03-23:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/COPYING?id=bf02d491237eea10290bd379bf7fc8c37ac6c3b4
