I don't agree. I think the "less than 100%" would similarly apply to
SRPMs. They're really the same inquiry with the same challenges
(misidentified licenses, false positives, phony licenses ...). The
only difference is that some of the enumerated licenses in a
hypothetical `SourceLicense:` would be removed from `License:`. So
`SourceLicense:` is maybe recording a step in the computation of
`License:` that might otherwise not be recorded.
