In the very early days of this repository, pvlib included the source files for NREL's C implementation of the SPA, plus an accompanying license file. Due to licensing concerns (#9), the source files were removed (#19) prior to the 0.1 release. However, the license file remained.

I see no reason to have kept that file back then, nor any reason to keep it now. Shall we delete it?

I agree with deleting that file. The python code that wraps SPA's C code originated in pvlib; keeping the license file may suggest that the NREL license applies to that python code.
