Neal did my arguments convince you? 

At some point in the thread you stopped answering and I would really really 
like to proceed with merging
https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/karchive/-/merge_requests/125/

Is there anything that would make the addition of point 18 easier for you to 
accept? Maybe 

18. Build scripts involved in the oss-fuzz tooling can be licensed under the 
Apache License 2.0

instead of "files" in general?
