I have added this as "FSFUL"...

... and this variant as "FSFULLR".

However, I would take care to point out that since these license are
almost always only found in "configure" scripts, and those "configure"
scripts almost never end up in the binary RPM package, these tags should
almost never end up in the License: field of a Fedora/RHEL RPM.

This documentation license has been added as "Verbatim".
