What's the problem with these?

$ rpm -ql dracut-tools |grep COPYING
/usr/share/doc/dracut-tools-006/COPYING
$ rpm -q --requires dracut-tools |grep dracut
$

Ok, dracut-tools really needs to depend on dracut and can drop the COPYING, but 
that's another story :)

$ rpm -ql libudev|grep COPYING
/usr/share/doc/libudev-151/COPYING

The problem might be, that libudev-devel also contains COPYING, so libudev-devel 
should be fixed rather than libudev.

$ rpm -ql udev|grep COPYING
/usr/share/doc/udev-151/COPYING

This COPYING file is a different file than the libudev COPYING in the source 
tarball, though it has the same content.
