--- Comment #2 from Ben Beasley <code@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ---
The CC0-1.0 license is allowed for content in Fedora, but not-allowed for code.

The meson wrap file utils/libpisp.wrap is an ini-style configuration file and
can be considered content. I think the meson options configuration file
meson_options.txt should also be considered content.

On the other hand, meson is a (domain-specific, limited) programming language,
so I think all of the meson.build files should be considered code. The
versioning script utils/version.py is certainly code. Even though these are all
build-system files that do not contribute to the licenses of the binary RPMs,
CC0-1.0 code cannot be included in source RPMs, either.

For utils/version.py, you could upload a “filtered” source archive to the
lookaside cache with the problematic file removed. For the meson.build files,
this is not an option, because you need them to build the libary. The only
possibilities would seem to be (1) convincing upstream to relicense the files,
or (2) convincing Fedora Legal that a usage exception
(https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/license-field/#_usage_exceptions)
should apply in this case.
