My understanding of this rule/expectation is that it does not have
anything directly to do with how the License: field is populated.
Rather, it's to notify the Fedora community about a substantive
upstream license change.
The new documentation says that there is supposed to be an
announcement on both devel and legal. I have seen such announcements
on devel before (in browsing list archives once in a blue moon) but I
am not sure I've ever seen any on legal. I am not sure how important
it is to preserve this rule at all, or to include both mailing lists,
but I understood us to be retaining a rule that at least in theory
previously existed.
