(In reply to William Moreno from comment #17)
# This file is distributed under the same licence as Star Traders
itself:

Not, you can not, specs are software for the FPCA
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal:
Fedora_Project_Contributor_Agreement?rd=Legal:FPCA
"Code" means (i) software code, (ii) any other functional material whose
principal purpose is to control or facilitate the building of packages, such
as an RPM spec file, (iii) font files, and (iv) other kinds of copyrightable
material that the Fedora Council has classified as "code" rather than
"content".
I am not quite sure what your point is here. I am the author of both the
software package (Star Traders) and (at least for current versions) the SPEC
file as well. All I aim in making the statement "This file is distributed..."
is to make the SPEC file be under the GPL 3+. It is a declarative statement in
English: essentially, "I choose that this file is distributed under...".
My reading of
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main?rd=Licensing
suggests that I can license the SPEC file under an explicit licence, in this
case GPL 3+: it is only if I don't that the SPEC file comes under the MIT
licence.
