Hello!
I stumbled upon the following situation. I am packaging a library
under MIT license. However the upstream-provided build-script in a
tarball explicitly licensed under ISC license (has a header with ISC
license). If it matters I do not use this script for building at all.
So I have two questions.

1. If a tarball has a differently licensed file which is not going to
a final RPM should I still list its license in a spec's %license
field?
2. Does it change anything if this file wasn't used at all during RPM
build process?

See

That's not the full answer. We do have a way to represent this
information by using the SourceLicense tag.

I don't think this tag is reflected in our guidelines or is it?
No, because hardly anyone seems to be using it.

Yes, because it's relatively new and it's not that important most of
the time. It was added in RPM 4.18.




Well, unless it is in guidelines, I don't think it will be used.
