license of the binary policy
by Jilayne Lovejoy
Hi Fedora legal and packaging,
I'm cross-posting this, as I think it's relevant to both groups.
The current policy for filling out the license field of the spec file
(as described at
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/LicensingGuidel...
) states, "The License: field refers to the licenses of the contents of
the binary rpm. When in doubt, ask."
As we consider how to improve documentation related to Fedora licensing,
it would be helpful to hear people's thoughts on the following:
1) how do you (package maintainers) interpret this policy in practice?
2) what further information/documentation about this policy would be
helpful?
3) should this policy be different, and if so, how?
4) any other related thoughts or observations
Thanks!

Automatic virtual provides for RPM macros?
by Miro Hrončok
Hello,
today at Nest, somebody said "unfortunately, there is no way to tell what
package to install to get a particular RPM macro".
I think that having an RPM provides generator for "rpm-macro(__python3)" or
similar should be a fairly simple exercise.
Would you folks consider that useful?

/etc/hosts setting in RPM spec file?
by Jun Aruga (he / him)
Is there a way to set a /etc/hosts setting below or an equivalent one
in a RPM spec file? The rubygem-mysq2 RPM package's unit test needs
the setting to run SSL tests in the %check process of the
rubygem-mysql2.spec file.
```
$ cat /etc/hosts
...
127.0.0.1 mysql2gem.example.com
```
As a reference, here are the upstream mysql2 project's settings.
