Most packages won't need it, and for those that do, it will make the
task for whomever is auditing the package (re: me) much simpler.


Hmmm would it be simpler to just have an included PACKAGE-LICENSES
file that you would then audit? That would keep the SPEC file from
getting overly ugly in some cases, and make your job a lot simpler by
giving out a tool that they could check to see if something
matches/doesnt match the PACKAGE-LICENSES. We could then share that
with our friends at Debian etc unless they have such a tool that we
could use.
