A wild guess, but could you put the licence option somewhere global to
distutils rather than specific to bdist_rpm?

This is inspired by finding:

        spec_file.extend([
            'Copyright: ' + self.distribution.get_license(),
            'Group: ' + self.group,
            'BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-buildroot',
            'Prefix: %{_prefix}', ])

in Lib/distutils/command/bdist_rpm.py in CVS.

Cheers,
M.
