Hi,

Thanks for the patch.

Well, a naive question: what package(s) could potentially use this
license?

Moreover, this license is not listed in:

    https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html

and the link <https://spdx.org/licenses/CC-PDDC> points to:

  https://creativecommons.org/licenses/publicdomain/ [no longer live] 


Cheers,
simon

Good question, I'm slowly trying to run through some rust packages
(mostly in crates-io.scm) with the intent of upgrading nu-shell
(currently quite out of date to the extent that most online
documenation is now dubious with new features added and a lot of
commands removed or changed). While adding and upgrading packages, I
ran across the rust package `pwd` (https://crates.io/crates/pwd/1.4.0)
which uses this license.

There is a slim chance the author might be willing to update the
package to a dual license, but it seemed like adding this would still
be useful for completeness sake (and in the case that they aren't able
to be reached easily).

V/R,

Aaron

Thanks for working on the Rust packages and looking ahead towards
needing this license.

I'm going to put this patch on the backburner for now, until we actually
have some patches that need this license. When the time comes, we can
reopen this ticket.
