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.
