Follow-up Comment #3, task #16542 (group administration):
> The files that don't contain copyright and license notices are generated.
Files like README don't look like generated.
> Does copyright apply to generated files?
It depends. If I generate a tarball from Emacs sources, it will be
copyrighted by the FSF. If I generate a file with a command like *yes | head
-n 83521 > file*, then it will not be copyrightable; however, even when some
file is public domain or uncopyrightable, it's useful to add a note clarifying
that.
> For example, I took GNU binutils, I wrote a script that extracts the
encoding of ARM64 constants and I put the result to the files arm64-w.inc and
arm64-x.inc. Who owns the copyright of these files? Me? Binutils authors?
Nobody (because a table of numbers can't be copyrighted)? Please, describe how
to properly attribute copyright in cases like this.
Generally, the derived works inherit the copyright status of the works they
are derived from.

wouldn't be mirror or backup, it would be the main git repository for Ajla
(while the WWW homepage would be www.ajla-lang.cz) - is it OK to use it this
way?
If you need just Git, you could consider using a simpler service like
repo.or.cz.
