Description Richard Fontana 2016-03-19 02:00:27 UTC 
Description of problem:

curl does not include the license file (COPYING)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

7.40.0

How reproducible:

Look for a license file in /usr/share/doc or /usr/share/licenses. The upstream source code has a top-level file called COPYING containing the license information.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. cat /usr/share/licenses/curl
2. ls /usr/share/doc/curl|grep COPYING
3.

Actual results:

[ref@monk ~]$ ls /usr/share/licenses/curl
ls: cannot access /usr/share/licenses/curl: No such file or directory

[ref@monk ~]$ ls /usr/share/doc/curl|grep COPYING
[ref@monk ~]$ 

Expected results:

[ref@monk ~]$ ls /usr/share/licenses/curl
COPYING

[ref@monk ~]$ ls /usr/share/doc/curl|grep COPYING
COPYING

I have found the same error in curl 7.43.0 on Fedora 23
Comment 1 Kamil Dudka 2016-03-19 06:21:56 UTC 
curl requires libcurl, which installs the COPYING file.  This ensures that curl cannot be installed without installing the CYPYING file first.
