In other words, if I unpack your tarball and then automatically generate an
archive containing all files from it, then that generated archive will be
uncopyrightable.  Is that what you are saying?

To be precise, it's [//www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#ccbysa only
compatible with GPLv3].

Its README.md says it contains some software under more licenses 
(LICENSE-THIRD-PARTY).  Could you analyze it?

While at it, there is no single
[//www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#Expat "MIT" license]: people use it
to refer to a number of various licenses.

> - rust, <https://github.com/rust-lang/rust>, MIT OR Apache-2.0

The COPYRIGHT file says (the emphasis is mine),

> *Except as otherwise noted*, Rust is licensed... 

What do you think about it?
