It is the interpretation of the Judicial Branch of the United States government and the United States Copyright Office, the best authority on copyright law in the United States.

Codeberg is based in Germany where German copyright law applies, and German copyright law is quite different from USA copyright law.

    They still need to consider all copyright laws, and something being considered public domain in the US is a pretty big deal with regard to open source licensing. For example, if code is in the public domain, and is “released” under the AGPL, I don’t actually have to follow the terms of the AGPL when I use it.
