Does anybody still care? Seems the Board either do not understand what we/I'm up to or they ignore it.
No one but you sees a problem. It's covered by the CLA.
Please explain to me: What meaning has the CLA (a contract between a Fedora contributer and Fedora/Red Hat) to someone else that receives software from Fedora?
I'm not familiar with US law, but in Germany a contract between A and B has no meaning to C.
if you want to be more explicit then you are free to put a license header in each of your specs.
My packages are not relevant here. It's about cooperation as a whole. If foo(¹) wants to use a spec file from Fedora as base for a package in his repo then he needs to be sure that it is a legal thing to do.

(¹) foo could be Dag, Livna, RPM Fusion or my neighbor
