Yes, I mean that. During installation, Rawtherapee puts all those license files 
in /usr/share/licenses, but I think really few of them are actually needed and 
I'm going to just remove them from the buildroot (I do not want to modify 
sources).
For example, Rawtherapee upstream defaults to use the bundled libRaw, but we 
use the Fedora package, so I think libRaw license file should not end in the 
RPM package. Right?

I totally don't understand why they (upstream) put license files of libraries 
that aren't even bundled in any way... my understanding is that's not right. Or 
is there a possible reason from a legal point to distribute those licenses also 
in the final RPM?
