I saw this coming when first I wrote ibus-anthy script. At a later
update I added this:

# This script is in public domain. If this is not legally possible
# I grant anyone the right to use this work for any purpose, without
any conditions,
# unless such conditions are required by law.

It's from Wikipedia. They use it for Public Domain works of their own.
I don't know if it is acceptable by Admins. Later I moved to BSD/MIT
Style licensing. Because any license is better than no license.
