- Clarify where documentation should go. Currently my practice has
been to put just the license file (if any) in the main package's %doc,
and the license file plus all other documentation & examples in
the devel subpackage. This duplicates (only) the license file, but
that seems acceptable since we shouldn't distribute software without
its license.
-devel packages should Require the main package, thus, there really
isn't any need for the duplicate license copy.
But you could still just install the main package and not devel, and
then you are in the situation where Fedora has distributed a binary
and basically removed the licensing information. It doesn't feel like
the right thing to do to me (but IANAL).
No Spot means it the other way around, keep the license in the main package and
drop it from the -devel one as that requires the main package anyways.
