I see this text as merely some verbiage they've added to the API docs as a human targetted summarization of the licensing. IOW, I would ignore this specific text. The actual license is clearly stated in their top level LICENSE file, which repeats this summarization, but then provides the full CC0 1.0 license text. IOW it is clear that the license is CC0 IMHO: https://metacpan.org/release/MITHALDU/Throwable-SugarFactory-0.213360/source/LICENSE The problem is that CC0 has been forbidden by Fedora for newly added packages if applied to code. It is only permitted for content. So it would look like this package cannot be added to Fedora today.
