A long time ago I suggested that Fedora consider adopting what I understand the Debian convention to be, which is to have a single copy of several widely used license files in a directory called /usr/share/common-licenses, referenced as needed from a per-package debian/copyright file. From a license compliance standpoint the Debian approach has some merit.
