Of course, if the user really wants to, she can investigate the binary RPM, and find pointers to the actual license, and go and find the license. But we would not be redistributing the license with "each copy".
Please enlighten me.
IMHO, in such a scenario, it is acceptable to put a copy of the license in each binary RPM. This will not cause conflicts, because it is the same file in the same location. If this obsoletes the need for a -common package, then do not create one.
However, the license may be embedded inside the font itself. Might be worth poking it with FontForge to see. If it is, then this is not necessary.
