--- Comment #28 from Carl George 🤠 <c...@redhat.com> ---
What I've done in cases like that is:

- extract the text of the license from the source file and include it in a text
file
- list that text file as an additional Source in the spec file
- include a comment indicating what source file the license text was extracted
from
- copy that additional source file to the build dir during %prep, so it can be
picked up by %license easily

That fulfills the license requirement to include the copyright notice in
distributed copies.  It also aligns with the packaging guidance for what to do
when upstreams don't include the license text at all.

> Include a copy of what they believe the license text is intended to be, as 
> part of the Fedora package in %license, in order to remain in compliance.
