+ .
+ XZ Utils releases 5.4.6 and older and 5.5.1alpha have a
+ significant amount of code put into the public domain and

+ 0BSD for newer releases was made in Febrary 2024 because

+ .
+ There is very little *practical* difference between public
+ domain and 0BSD. The main difference likely is that one
+ shouldn't claim that 0BSD-licensed code is in the public
+ domain; 0BSD-licensed code is copyrighted but available under
+ an extremely permissive license. Neither 0BSD nor public domain
+ require retaining or reproducing author, copyright holder, or
+ license notices when distributing the software. (Compare to,
+ for example, BSD 2-Clause "Simplified" License which does have
+ such requirements.)
+ .
+ If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask for more information.

- COPYING says that most docs are in the public domain. Maybe that's not
- clear enough, but on the other hand it looks a bit stupid to put
- copyright information in tiny and relatively small docs like README.
- .
- I don't dare to say that _all_ XZ Utils specific docs are in the public
- domain unless otherwise mentioned in the file. I'm including PDF files
- generated by groff + ps2pdf, and some day I might include Doxygen-
- generated HTML docs too. Those don't include any copyright notices, but
- it seems likely that groff + ps2pdf or at least Doxygen put some
- copyrighted content into the generated files.

- changelog.gz (commit 975d8fd) explains:
- .
- Recreated the BCJ test files for x86 and SPARC. The old files
- were linked with crt*.o, which are copyrighted, and thus the
- old test files were not in the public domain as a whole. They
- are freely distributable though, but it is better to be careful
- and avoid including any copyrighted pieces in the test files.
- The new files are just compiled and assembled object files,
- and thus don't contain any copyrighted code.
