Thanks for the detailed explanation. What about packages that use Versioneer prior to the switch to Unlicense (<0.27)? Would I have to add "AND CC0-1.0"? I believe I maintain a couple of packages using Versioneer. So far, I have never paid attention to the license of _version.py nor to which version of Versioneer is shipped in the sources if any.
