Caveat: I have not looked at your specific spec, so I am hypothesizing here.

Lets say that your beteckna-fonts SRPM generates these binary RPMS:

- beteckna-fonts
- beteckna-fonts-common
- beteckna-fonts-shiny

If both "beteckna-fonts" and "beteckna-fonts-shiny" depend (either
implicitly or explicitly) on "beteckna-fonts-common", and
"beteckna-fonts-common" has the license texts in it, you do not need to
do anything.

If "beteckna-fonts" (or "beteckna-fonts-shiny") does not depend (either
implicitly or explicitly) on "beteckna-fonts-common", then you will need
to add copies of the license text to that package.
