The spec game/renderware_binary_stream.ksy has no /meta/license key, which means that it is under exclusive copyright. All contributors hold the copyright to the lines of code that they contributed and nobody else shall legally use them (see https://choosealicense.com/no-permission/).

Therefore, it is desirable to choose a license for it. I'll put a list of contributors here according to Git history. If you're mentioned, please comment whether you are OK with releasing the renderware_binary_stream.ksy spec under the CC0-1.0 license. (If not, suggest an alternative from this list.)

I agree with the relicensing of my changes to CC0-1.0. If you need any more, just let me know.

I'm also OK with releasing my changes under CC0-1.0.

However, I doubt that we'll ever be able to reach out to @mnakamura1337, who is the original author. He seems to be missing in action since 2017 - his latest activity at both GitHub and Habr was on July 17, 2017 and then we know nothing about him. He has no GitHub visits/contributions for 2018-2021. I sent him an e-mail on 8 Feb, 2021, but his email box is apparently canceled:

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error.

[email protected], ERROR CODE :554 - delivery error: dd Sorry your message to [email protected] cannot be delivered. This account has been disabled or discontinued [#102]. - mta114.mail.bbt.yahoo.co.jp

So we're pretty much screwed - we can't apply any license without his consent, which we're unlikely to get.
