Warn about non SPDX licenses

[xsuchy]

With most packages converted to SPDX, I propose that rpmlint (in F42) should warn when the package use Callaway syntax.

I suppose that is something to be done in the configuration file:
https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpmlint/blob/main/configs/Fedora/licenses.toml

I think that rpmlint does not want to maintain a separate list of licenses anymore. This can be offloaded in runtime to data provided by fedora-license-data.

We no longer use this file in Fedora. The Fedore config here is quite outdated.

In Fedora, I did that ~2 years ago: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/rpmlint/pull-request/28

With most packages converted to SPDX, I propose that rpmlint (in F42) should warn when the package use Callaway syntax.

That is exactly¹ what I did ~2 months ago in https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data/-/merge_requests/617
