Due to the symlink, the package has now one more dependency. It is simply an incomplete package, unless licenses.rpm is also installed. If the FSF insists on having a copy in each RPM, we can simply stop doing symlinks for GPL, and still have saved a tree with all the other licenses symlinked.
As GPL is (by guess) in most of our packages, it wouldn't make sense to create license-package without GPL in it.
Besides saving space on distribuition media, the license package serves another goal: It establishes /usr/share/doc/licenses as a central point for license files. This goal could also be achieved by other means.
