Skip doc installation

No, this is a downstream packaging issue. We as upstream cannot take every possible packaging tool into account when maintaining our project. Marking this wontfix

It is not at all uncommon that OSS packages install their license as part of the documentation. In fact, I'd venture to say it's the norm. Also, all configure based programs already support various make install-foo sub-targets that can be used to achieve what you're asking for.

Glancing at https://rpm-software-management.github.io/rpm/manual/spec.html, I suggest using %doc also for license, or drop the file in the %install step instead.

./configure --without-doc not works.

Putting license into %doc is not good idea, but removing license in %install is the thing that I do now.

Like I said, won't fix. So no need to comment on this further, the matter is closed. Every integration in an end-user system requires some sort of workaround or adaptation to that system, this is the responsibility of the packager.
