Okay, I was probably basically not wrong, but I may have been looking in the wrong place. it appears that these files: https://github.com/java-schema-utilities/relaxng-datatype-java/tree/master/src/main/java/org/relaxng/datatype are identical to the files in the zip file available here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/relaxng/files/datatype%20%28java%29/2001_10_11/relaxngDatatype.java.zip/download at src/org/relaxng/datatype That zip file also contained a license file, ThaiOpenSourceCenter-copying.txt, the contents of which are a match to SPDX `BSD-3-Clause`. So Marián Konček the thing to do here is (a) use `BSD-3-Clause` to represent the license of those files in https://github.com/java-schema-utilities/relaxng-datatype-java and (b) make sure the Fedora package corrects the upstream error in omitting the license file by including the ThaiOpenSourceCenter-copying.txt file contents, i.e.: Copyright (c) 2001, Thai Open Source Software Center Ltd All rights reserved.
