gnus/nnmaildir and nnnil describe themselves as "public domain", yet
also contain the standard Emacs GPL license text. That's a little
confusing, and I suggest removing the GPL text if these files are
indeed in the public domain.

Can you check where they actually came from
and how they were contributed?

Both files were written by Paul Jarc, and originally added as part of Gnus.

copyright.list contains an entry:

  GNUS    Paul Jarc       2001-10-02
  Disclaims changes (changed message.el, added nnmaildir.el)

so nnmaildir seems clear.

nnnil is almost a trivial file IMO. In any case, it would seem his
above disclaimer covers it, yes?

He also has an assignment for Emacs on file, but I guess since these
files were added to Gnus first, they are disclaimed rather than assigned.

Yes, it looks like the notice on nnmaildir.el is accurate.

I'm also satisfied about nnnil.el (it being a file that Paul Jarc
contributed to Gnus). Are you?
