It helps packagers figure out whether something can be brought into
Fedora, it helps upstream developers figure out what they can work
with, and so on. Fedora is considered the practical authority on FOSS
licensing alongside Debian, and that's because Tom did a great job
with legal outreach on behalf of Fedora. People use Fedora guidance to
make decisions. Removing that information is an abdication of that
responsibility and the leadership Fedora has held for decades.
