      Section number and name: 4.5.4. An example SPEC file for a program written in Python

      Describe the issue: In the example spec file of the "An example spec file for the pello program written in Python" subsection the package license is specified as the MIT license:

      License: MIT

      However, the LICENSE file created for this package in the  3.2. Creating a LICENSE file section specifies GPLv3, creating unnecessary inconsistency.

      Impact of this issue: Documentation consumers will be unnecessarily confused by the inconsistent license declaration.

      Suggestions for improvement: Change the value of the License field of the spec file as GPLv3 as well.
