RPM meta-data are embedded into it. Repositories will also embed some sort of meta-data indexing. In your case, see files in http://www.apache.org/dist/incubator/bigtop/bigtop-0.3.0-incubating/repos/fedora16/repodata/ If the RPM you want to inspect is already installed, you can use commandes such as "rpm -i <PKG NAME>" or yum (for CentOS/RedHat/Fedora) or zypper commands. Usually packages ship also NOTICE and LICENSE file in the doc dir. So depending on your system, once a apckage installed, you can find such a file in /usr/share/doc/<PKG_NAME>/ or /usr/share/doc/<PKG_NAME>-<PKG_VERSION>/ If you can't find it for a given package, I would recommend to open a ticket.
