Is it possible to contact the contributors and have their explicit agreement
or is the LICENSE file at the top level of the repo already covering this
scenario?
Thank you,Mihaela

The text has "All rights reserved" in all three lines which is _not_ a
copyright notice but a license grant.
It's those license grants, including PSF's, that are untrue.
Compare with e.g. Tools/msi/bundle/bootstrap/pch.h and Modules/_hashopenssl.c
in which a copyright notice correctly comes bare and is
followed by a license grant compatible with PSFLA.
