Updating to a link to new License: field pages in Fedora docs

relates to #1142

Signed-off-by: Jilayne Lovejoy

Note that the mentioned "helper script" is unmaintained and should no longer be used, so I'd rather drop that paragraph entirely until we have a new solution.

I'm also unsure whether it's actually worth mentioning Rust specifically. It's just like all other ecosystems with statically linked binaries, and the paragraph that's in the Rust Packaging Guidelines is basically just a reminder of that. I'd rather have it point to a generic section of the legal docs concerning statically linked programs, since Rust isn't special here.

  • fix link to license field guideline

fixed link and made it go to the general page on License: field guidelines.

Also have removed the info about the helper script from the licensing page, we can always add it back later if something changes

Should the link lead to https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/license-field/#_rust_packages ?

yeah, that would be precise, but it is the same page and one still needs to read the general guidance, so... one way or the other is not wrong
