[Fedora-legal-list] fedora packaging: Inclusion of license(s) in fedora packages

[Siddharth Sharma]

Hi,

If a project source code contain license files we need to include those
files using
%license macro. If package splits into multiple packages then which sub
package
must have license files ? It might be confusing so I will try to explain
scenario.
Usually when devel package is installed it installs main package with it.
So whenever
user install main package or devel package they get  license files by
default if included
in main package. But for example if a package splits into main, libs, and
devel package
and user can just install libs package without actually installing devel
and main package
then at that point code is distributed without license. What needs to be
done in such
cases ? Is it required to embed license in each sub-package ?
