I'd treat this as CC0-1.0 (I don't think that is altered by the form of license notice on individual source files). Presumably it's covered by the grandfathering exception https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data/-/blob/main/data/CC0-1.0.toml?ref_type=heads#L11-14 Richard _______________________________________________ legal mailing list -- legal@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to legal-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/legal@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
