  Yes. Review guidelines already covered them. But I think I confused
and assumed that we need to add  now explicitly some text like "keep
the license file in the main package and drop it from the -devel one
as that requires the main package anyways." at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#head-9bbfa57478f0460c6160947a6bf795249488182b

 Like we already have "for example API documentation belongs in the
-devel subpackage, not the main one" written in Documentation section
in Packaging Guidelines Page. So how about mentioning similar for
license file inclusion?

 Anyway it may also looks like duplication of guideline rules at 2 places.

Thanks,
Parag.
