I can only agree here.
For example, for many non-trivial Rust packages, just "listing what's
there" without doing some amount of simplification will result in
License tags that are >100 characters long. I don't know if there's
any limit to the length of RPM headers, but if there is, we might hit
the limit with the "guidance" ...
