IMHO the license that matters for the font package is the license of
the font files (spec files are often MIT too that’s not a reason to
make all Fedora rpms FOO and MIT)

You can always trace explicitly the licensing of the fontconfig files
with a SPDX declaration within those files

<!--SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT-->
