#5227 Use %license tag in spec file
Closed: Fixed None Opened 8 years ago by rcritten.

Traditionally the license has been included in %doc. Fedora wants to be able to skip installing documentation (via rpm --excludedocs) but cannot because the license needs to be installed. The solution is to use the %license tag instead.
