One idea would be to just collect all licenses, copyrights and notices as found in the actual sources and put them into one file put in the srpm. Kind of like debian/copyright. The advantage is that you then don't have to find some exact (or inexact) match with specific identifiers and that it can be shared with upstream and/or other distros. For the packager they can just put LicenseRef-Fedora-SourceLicenses in the License field instead of trying to come up with some expression that mimics the actual license texts. For the users it is also easier to have the actual license notices text all together in a known place/file.
