Practically all such configuration was moved from rpmrc to macros eons

Yup, we can't simply skip licenses. rpm >= 4.11 will have a %doc-like
%license directive in the %files section, so these can be cleanly
separated, and licenses wont be affected by excludedocs. Eg
%files
%doc README NEWS ChangeLog
%license COPYING
