Well, even if this was not done for the licensing reasons, I'd probably
still split it into at least a libs subpackage for better multilib
handling (since it produces a devel subpackage). Blame upstream's
multiple licensing though. :P It just seems a bit simpler to me to do it
this way rather than going through and meticulously listing licenses per
files in the spec. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.
