Why we are waiting for the legal analysis, it would be awesome if you could explain this "does not scale" thing.
While, not why, of course.
Because it's already tedious to correctly set License tags for each sub-package.
Indeed, many sub-packages (throughout openSUSE, and also upstream) get it wrong (e.g. GPL for GFDL).
or the other way around. As separating the license text from the package seems to be permitted (only provide the copy in one of the many sub-packages),
You still have to provide a link to the license text, if not the license text itself, and the link must be discoverable by means of rpm -qd. That link may be a soft link or a %ghost.
rpm -qi gcc: Name : gcc Version : 4.6 Release : 15.1.3 Architecture: x86_64 Install Date: Tue Mar 27 16:53:14 2012 Group : Development/Languages/C and C++ Size : 0 License : GPLv3+ ... this provides good enough of a link for me (maybe not for a lawyer).
