The file docs/reference/COPYING is an exact match for the text of the Gnome GCR Documentation License (SPDX ID GCR-docs), so use that license instead of Public Domain. This licenses actually requires that the copyright notice be preserved, unlike Public Domain, so its likely that using Public Domain is actually an error due to a misreading of the license text.
