Anthony/Bastien/others, thoughts on using CC0 instead? The error from libreJS is correct - public domain is not a valid license. As this is a GNU project and correct licensing is important, I don't think there is any option other than to change the line to reference the CC license (or any appropriate free license). If 'public domain' was used due to some other issue, either we have to verify the code is covered by a free (not just open source) license or replace it with code that is and is acceptable by the FSF. -- Tim Cross
