Description Martin Cermak 2014-07-22 10:33:38 UTC 
Systemtap efa3ced fails to build (make rpm) on el6. Presumably caused by 91c82d369 (plus related 876abb05). This is el6 specific:

RPM build errors:
    File must begin with "/": GPLv2+
    File must begin with "/": COPYING

Please, fix.
Comment 1 Martin Cermak 2014-07-22 10:58:03 UTC 
The rpm-4.8.0-37.el6 complains, rpm-4.11.1-16.el7 is happy. https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/411 looks related.

Maybe something like this could work ():
-------
%doc README README.unprivileged AUTHORS NEWS
%if 0%{?fedora} >= XXX || 0%{?rhel} >= 7
   %license COPYING
%else 
   %doc COPYING
%endif
