Side note: We actually worked around the problem you're discussing
with Rust packaging.

- source package name: rust-%{crate}
- built packages (containing source code): rust-%{crate}-devel etc.
- built packages (containing binaries): %{crate} (usually)
- there is no built package with the name rust-%{crate}

So while the main "License" tag from the rust-%{crate} source package
(which can be generated from upstream's SPDX metadata) is
automatically inherited by all subpackages, the subpackage that
actually contains the binaries can have a different "License" tag
(i.e. one that takes all statically linked content into account),
because its name is different than the name of the source package.
