SPDX: license tags: LicenseRef-OpenZFS-ThirdParty-PublicDomain

SPDX have repeatedly rejected the creation of a tag for a public domain
dedication, as not all dedications are clear and unambiguious in their
meaning and not all jurisdictions permit relinquishing a copyright
anyway.

A reasonably common workaround appears to be to create a local
(project-specific) identifier to convey whatever meaning the project
wishes it to. To cover OpenZFS' use of third-party code with a public
domain dedication, we use this custom tag.
