I would suggest:
* Fedora should recognize CC-PDDC as a "good" license under the current system
* The license tag for CC-PDDC would be CC-PDDC (not "Public
Domain")
* 1 and 2 would persist under the switch to SPDX identifiers
* For this specific package, the license tag should be CC-PDDC (not
"Public Domain"), but it is not clear that this is really what the
upstream author(s) intended
* Consider getting the upstream author to put the text of CC-PDDC in
the LICENSE file
