Well, in that case I must apologize for those reviews I've done.  I
would swear that I had requested an opinion on directly this issue
(even the more specific case where there is no link in name or
dependency between the various packages generated from one src.rpm)
and was told that it was sufficient to include the license text
exactly once.  That's the advice I've been going on for some time, and
the guidance I used when voting on the guideline restricting
duplicates.

Oh, well.
