We can make license recommendations, but especially for the existing ones I'd 
say this is something their respective authors need to decide/agree to, we 
can't just pick whatever we like if there is no license information.

Hi,

is this on what Neelaksh worked during SoK? For GCompris, he added it with
CopyrightText: None and CC0-1.0 like you say and it's fine with us:

Flatpak Manifest Licensing

2023-05-18 Thread Justin Zobel

Hey Everyone,

As Binary Factory is to be shut down soon we are moving the Flatpak 
manifests to their individual GitLab repositories.


Most of this is fairly simple, however, some GitLab repositories have 
enabled reuse linting (which is great). The Flatpak manifests I have 
come across so far have not had any licensing information included. This 
email is just to start a discussion about what everyone's thoughts are 
about which license to apply for them.


The GitLab CI files are licensed as CC0-1.0 and I'm thinking that this 
might be a suitable license as the Flatpak manifest files are simply 
text files.

# SPDX-FileCopyrightText: None
# SPDX-License-Identifier: CC0-1.0

Let me know your thoughts.
