Webkitgtk has interresting file:

The file has this content:

*/
And that is all. No other content is there. So it is literaly an empty file with license declaration.
Should this license be honored and put in License tag of spec file? Or is it copyright of not-copyrightable file and
should be ignored?
As a general rule, empty files should be ignored. It should certainly
not be accounted for in the License tag.
There are some cases where something like this could be a clue to how
*another* file is licensed but I think that is unlikely here because
this looks like it is the result of an attempt to make a repository
REUSE-conformant.
yes, I think Richard is spot-on that this is to conform to REUSE which,
I think requires a copyright and license notice in every file. Good
intentions, not always the best outcome, though...
