Re: XZ upstream thinks about switching from PD to 0BSD.

The BSD 0-clause license is effectively a public domain grant in jurisdictions that acknowledge public domain grants, and an extremely permissive license in jurisdictions that do not. This does not seem like an issue. attribution is not required in either case.

Hi,

the XZ upstream project thinks about changing the license from Public
Domain to BSD Zero clause license:

I *think* the PD "license" has no copyright and this isn't an issue for
Debian.
Could someone please comment on behalf of the Debian Project?
