Then everyone is forced to discuss the technical annoyances like below:

How are we supposed to deal with cases where the source did not ship a full copy of the license in order to add to %doc easily? We are supposed to add another copy of the license to each SRPM?


Do we have examples for this? (other than a missing GPL "COPYING" file)

It's very common for both the GPL and Artistic license texts not to be shipped with perl modules that use the same license as perl (i.e. dual GPL/Artistic).
