Putting on evil hat:
I already was afraid that would be used as an argument, taking this over the top glibc-devel and glibc-common don't contain COPYING, only glibc does.
That can be explained in 2 ways: -all (L)GPL devel rpms should be modified to include COPYING -we can create a licenses.rpm as long as its Requires: by rpms which fall under one of the licenses in licenses.rpm

About licenses what about a licenses.rpm which gets installed by default which contains most common licenses and which is an obligatory part of the base system. And then just put a ptr to the license in the rpm -qi info? That would also cleanout /usr/share/doc since quite a few dirs there only contain a copy of the GPL / MPL / whatever license
problem is that the GPL at least requires you to ship the license with
the software. And RPMs get used and for sure distributed outside
fedora...
