A fille called LICENSE or LICENSE.md in the main directory is mandatory, for distribute on FEDORA, please add your license file.

If you prefer, I can add ir and request a pull request.

Could you please point out the URL of a web page that describes the license file requirements for Fedora packages?

Licensing matters are important. Therefore, the decision to rename doc/COPYING to LICENSE cannot be made by me, just one of the contributors. I think it needs to be discussed.

Below I present the guidelines for preparation and distribution.
Please lead the discussion by letting me prepare the code needed for packaging.

So that it can be developed, for now, I have the green light knowing that GLP2 is the license they use and that it is among the permitted licenses. Which paints a good picture.

Additional information can be found here.

You will find the packaging repository here:

Thank you for providing the information.

Doesn't changing %license LICENSE in spec file to %license doc/COPYING work?
https://pagure.io/redmine/blob/main/f/redmine.spec#_31

I found some examples in GitHub.

I am going to move it during packing, it is a matter of standardization, however I will move it so I can pack soon.
I will leave the ticket open for discussion as it adds an unnecessary task to packaging. However, it no longer has priority, the essential thing was to know the license to use. You can close the ticket if you want, but you should reconsider moving the file and using the standard name, another development group might consider packaging for other distributions and get embarrassed by not finding the license.

It is expected to be quick and easy to find the license in the source's main directory.
