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
curl requires libcurl, which installs the COPYING file. This ensures that curl cannot be installed without installing the CYPYING file first.
