In gentoo.git the licenses/0BSD shared license text currently begins: Copyright (C) 2006, 2019 by Rob Landley <rob@landley.net> which is from toybox, the project where the 0BSD license originated. However other projects can and have adopted this license and it's not accurate to say that they are all copyright Rob Landley. The shared license text should probably use placeholders instead, for example licenses/BSD begins: Copyright (c) <YEAR>, <OWNER> Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. use 0BSD license for a project besides toybox
No "owner" please: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html.en#CopyrightOwner
