I don't know if Fedora has an opinion on this but in a Red Hat
context, years ago I used to recommend CC0 for certain kinds of
things. These days in similar situations (Involving code, at least) I
have typically been recommending MIT No Attribution (SPDX: MIT-0)
https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT-0

As the name suggests, it's the MIT license but with the notice
preservation requirement removed. Very similar conceptually to
Zero-Clause BSD (SPDX: 0BSD), which I would be less inclined to
recommend primarily because I don't like the name, since it's actually
based on the ISC license. :-)
