[Savannah-register-public] [task #11225] Submission of ReCaged

Follow-up Comment #3, task #11225 (project administration):

Hi Mats -- You asked about the licensing of some small files.  In general,
one-line files like the README's you mention are not an issue, but it can't
hurt to include the GPL (as you did).

As for internal.conf, I see no particular reason that is not copyrightable.  I
think it should get some kind of notice, either all-permissive or GPL.

As for "special precautions" to avoid confusion, there are no cut-and-dried
rules here.  What's important is to state the actual situation as clearly as
you can.  For example: Files X, Y, Z are under an all-permissive license,
while the rest of the package is under the GNU GPL version 3 or later.  This
isn't a legal formula (that's what the wording in the actual files is for),
rather an overview intended for human understanding.

Hope this helps.
