I am not quite sure what your point is here.  I am the author of both the
software package (Star Traders) and (at least for current versions) the SPEC
file as well.  All I aim in making the statement "This file is distributed..."
is to make the SPEC file be under the GPL 3+.  It is a declarative statement in
English: essentially, "I choose that this file is distributed under...".

My reading of https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main?rd=Licensing
suggests that I can license the SPEC file under an explicit licence, in this
case GPL 3+: it is only if I don't that the SPEC file comes under the MIT
licence.
