And my second part of the question still: If I owned the specfile, what if, I, as the initial author, don't allow it to be freely used any more?
like Axei said, the gcc.spec workpiece is owned by me. But, can we create a gcc package without a gcc.spec? a gcc1.spec with "Name: gcc"? that's rediculous if there're lots of people who want to privatize their specfiles :-)
Let's just pick up a real life case: python-faulthandler. The original specfile author claimed that I carelessly removed the copyright of LISA Gmbh ( which I did, carelessly). Then I wonder if I add the copyright back, submit it to Factory, get it included in openSUSE:42 or SLE one day, then suddenly the LISA company don't allow free usage of the specfile. What should we do then? Removing the package? the deepin-music-player will be unfunctional. Rewriting the specfile? that company can always claim we steal its idea because almost all our python related specfile look the same, one way or another.
