--- Comment #8 from Ben Beasley <[email protected]> ---
The test262 archive has an “overall” license of BSD-3-Clause, and some files
are MPL-2.0. Those are fine, and it’s correct that these aren’t listed in the
License since the test suite doesn’t contribute to the licenses of the binary
RPMs. However, there is also a PDF copy of ECMA TR-104, with the following
license on page iv (PDF page 6):

This seems like it *might* be a potentially-acceptable documentation license,
but I couldn’t find a match for it among the licenses in
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/allowed-licenses/#_allowed_documentation_licenses,
and I’m not sure it has an SPDX identifier.

Even though this PDF file isn’t packaged in the binary RPMs, anything in the
source RPMs is still redistributed, and needs to be under a license acceptable
for Fedora. You’ll need to submit this license for review as a documentation
license at https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data/-/issues. If
approved, all is well; if not acceptable, you’ll need to strip this file out of
the test262 archive *before* uploading to the lookaside cache. You can write a
script to handle that and include it as an additional source, or write down
instructions for doing it manually in a comment in the spec file.
