from https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main#Good_Licenses

"Being in the public domain is not a license; rather, it means the material is
not copyrighted and no license is needed."

Also https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:LicensingGuidelines#Public_Domain

I think earlier Fedora Legal was a bit ambivalent about Public Domain,
since some jurisdictions do not allow Public Domain, but it looks like
this may no longer be the case. So probably you can ignore this suggestion.
