Basically, have rpm -V ignore timestamp verification on %license files.
Make that "have rpm -V ignore timestamp verification on files whose
hardlink count is > 1". That's reasonably in line with how rpm -V
currently treats files shared among multiple packages and makes
hardlink-on-content verification-friendly for any files, and without
making licenses a totally oddball special case in verify.
gcc contains hardlinks (e.g. /usr/bin/{,x86_64-redhat-linux-}gcc) and for
these I'd prefer if the timestamp verification was done.
What for?
You seem to be forgetting that files system are not read-only. Any user
has the liberty to "move/copy" around files or "touch" them.
What you really want is "identical contents", not matching timestamps.
