%package doc
Summary: Documentation files for rtlsdr-scanner
Requires: %{name} = %{version}-%{release}
BuildArch: noarch

Requires is the explicit dependency, i.e. you cannot install the doc subpackage
without the main package.

What? There is clearly written that both are licensed under one (i.e. the same)
license. The question is whether it is GPLv3 or GPLv3+, I bet it's only typo
(or copy and paste error ) or upstream just didn't think about the nuance of v3
vs v3+. From the data available you *cannot* deduce that the doc is licensed
under GPLv3 and the code under GPLv3+.

You need python2-pyrtlsdr package from testing, namely:
python-pyrtlsdr-0.2.2-6.fc25
