Hi!
Then the question is how should the following guideline be interpreted:
"If (and only if) the source package includes the text of the license(s)
in its own file, then that file, containing the text of the license(s)
for the package must be included in %doc."
Does this text refer to the big gigantic installer or the extracted
source tarfile in this case.
Neither.
This paragraph aims at the problem of tarballs containing
"inlined licenses" vs. packages containing "detached licenses".
With
* "inlined licenses": source files contain a "license section" within
their code.
* "detached licenses": A tarball contains one or more files, describing
the source's contents.
Somewhat oversimplified, this guideline essentially means: "If the
tarball has a license file, then you must include it - if it doesn't,
you must not create one"
