Correct, it isn't copyrightable.

The "AND" operator means that compliance with multiple licenses is needed. I
got this license expression with `dnf info` which seems to show overly verbose
license expressions, possibly generated from per-file license data. I'm more
awake now, so I now know that "Apache-2.0" (permissive) and "CC0-1.0" (public
domain) are redundant because they are compatible with GPL.

Also I now noticed that there's a non-GPL-compatible license "CC-BY-SA-4.0". I
looked at the project's README, and it says that this license is for the
documentation. My project does not require installing the documentation.

In conclusion, this dependency is GPL-3.0-or-later.
