Note that I’m just a commenter for now, and I haven’t assigned myself the
review.

As of the latest upstream commit[1], the only remaining CC0-1.0 files in the
source are meson files, e.g. [2]. While these don’t contribute to the License
field, they are still distributed in the source RPM and need to be
acceptably-licensed. There is an exception in the CC0-1.0 usage notes[3] that
may be somewhat relevant here:

> Upstream application of CC0-1.0 to trivial, noncreative, unoriginal,

That nearly applies to this case, but it does not look like upstream is
actually targeting REUSE, and some of the meson.build files seem to be pushing
the bounds of “trivial.” I still think it makes sense to ask upstream to
relicense the meson.build files too, or run this case by Fedora Legal if that
approach doesn’t bear fruit.
