-devel packages should Require the main package, thus, there really
isn't any need for the duplicate license copy.
But you could still just install the main package and not devel, and
then you are in the situation where Fedora has distributed a binary
and basically removed the licensing information. It doesn't feel like
the right thing to do to me (but IANAL).
