Usually you'd fill all boxes in (one way or another), and then remove this
line.

The license is specified as GPLv3+ in the spec file, and those
headers that specify the license match that.
It is quite normal for many individual files not to have licensing
information or copyright statements, and this is not treated as an error.
The main guidelines [1,2] don't address this case specifically, but in the FAQ
there are similar considerations (see point 3 in
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:FAQ?rd=Licensing/FAQ#How_do_I_figure_out_what_version_of_the_GPL.2FLGPL_my_package_is_under.3F)
It seems common sense to assume that if the README or setup.py or some headers
specify
a license, and there is no disagreement between them, that this is the license.

Different package? This one only has python2-nsdf and python-nsdf-doc
subpackages,
and both have the README, although they don't have a LICENSE file, because
on is missing from the upstream repo and tarball.

You could (and should) say instead, that I'm supposed to contact upstream about
adding a license file. Indeed, I haven't done this.

Can you be more specific here?

It uses the standard %py2_build macro. If this is not paralellized, and
could be, than this might be a bug in python2-devel.

In this case "build" is really copying a few files to build/lib, so it doesn't
really matter either way.

What about all the open boxes [ ]?
