  1. Fedora has switched to SPDX licenses since 40 

    All new packages should have lincese in SPDX format on Fedora. There is
no need for separate license in legacy format, that would be considered
wrong.

On Fedora package, the license field should include all binary
dependencies built into binary packages. Not just the project itself. It
is not strictly neccessary until you try to have your generated rpm in
official repos. But you might be aware of that. That is the cost of
bundling all dependencies in form of static libraries.
