[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Can `License` field work cumulatively (Discussion #2892)

[Vít Ondruch]

Specifying multiple `License` fields is currently prohibited:

~~~
warning: line 180: second License
error: Duplicate License entries in package: (main package)
~~~

Is it possible to change the behavior so the multiple license fields were supported and there would be `AND` relation between them?

For example, currently the license line can look like this:

~~~
# BSD-3-Clause: missing/{crypt,mt19937,setproctitle}.c
# ISC: missing/strl{cat,cpy}.c
# Public Domain for example for: include/ruby/st.h, strftime.c, missing/*, ...
# MIT and CCO: ccan/*
# zlib: ext/digest/md5/md5.*, ext/nkf/nkf-utf8/nkf.c
# Unicode-DFS-2015: some of enc/trans/**/*.src
License: (Ruby OR BSD-2-Clause) AND BSD-3-Clause AND ISC AND Public Domain AND MIT and CC0 AND zlib AND Unicode-DFS-2015
~~~

But it could look this way:

~~~
License: Ruby OR BSD-2-Clause
# BSD-3-Clause: missing/{crypt,mt19937,setproctitle}.c
License: BSD-3-Clause
# ISC: missing/strl{cat,cpy}.c
License: ISC
# Public Domain for example for: include/ruby/st.h, strftime.c, missing/*, ..
License: Public Domain
# MIT and CCO: ccan/*
License: MIT and CC0
# zlib: ext/digest/md5/md5.*, ext/nkf/nkf-utf8/nkf.c
License: zlib
# Unicode-DFS-2015: some of enc/trans/**/*.src
License: Unicode-DFS-2015
~~~
