Ok. Got permission from Ingo to use his response in the copyright file
and the relevant portion now looks like this:
Files: sct.c
Copyright: 2016 Ted Unangst <t...@openbsd.org>
whitepoints data copyright 2013 Ingo Thies <ith...@astro.uni-bonn.de>
License: public-domain-sct and public-domain-colorramp

public domain, do as you wish
License: public-domain-colorramp
I have calculated the table by following mathematical rules of color
integration and conversion from the CIE 1931 color space to sRGB.
.
I doubt that a numerically computed color table is copyrightable at all
(in contrast to the actual software implementation). However, if it is
indeed copyrightable, I have no problem with releasing it into the
public domain.
Is there a better way to indicate copyright over a portion of a file? Is
this clear enough?
Thanks for your help,
