Daniel, the test failure instructions state:

```
ERROR: The kernel RPM spec file License: field does not match the licenses
available in the source tree.
Fedora, Centos Stream, and RHEL require that the RPM License field match the
licenses in the source tree.  See
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/license-approval/ for further
information.
A list of licenses can be generated by executing the
redhat/scripts/license/kspdx.py utility.  New licenses can
be added to the RPM License field only if they are listed in the Allowed
Licenses list
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/allowed-licenses/).   Licenses
cannot be added if they are in the
'Not Allowed' Licenses (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/not-
allowed-licenses/). Licenses can be added
to the 'Allowed' or 'Not Allowed' Licenses by following the License Review
Process
(https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/license-review-process/)."
```

I think that is clear enough on our expectations for licensing.  If we find
something that doesn't line up with the Fedora Approved Licenses then we will
follow the Fedora process for getting that license approved, or making sure
the code is never 'compiled' into Fedora (or RHEL of course).  If the License
is unapproved, it also warrants a discussion with upstream on their decision
to include the code.
