Packaging guideline changes are pretty much never retroactive; we don't
really have an enforcement body.

RS> 20+?

Well, <20 isn't exactly important.

RS> What about EPEL 5, 6, 7?

Pretty sure 7 is OK, but in any case, EPEL has its own guidelines.
Still, here's some magic:
  %{!?_licensedir:%global license %%doc}
Now everything supports %license.  I so wish there was an
epel-rpm-config package that could hold this kind of thing.

Feel free to make a more concrete suggestion and I'll be happy to make
the change.
