Hyperbola also imported that license in their core repository and Eli
Schwartz uses the Unlicense for pers PKGBUILDs, so using compatible
licenses would enable more code sharing between various distributions
using PKGBUILDs.
In addition several contributors consider many of the PKGBUILDs not to
be copyrightable (because they are very simple).
Note that just adding a license without any clear statements
associated with it brings some legal uncertainty. From the GPL
howto[1]: "If a program has a copy of a license FOO alongside the
source files, but doesn't have an explicit statement that “This
program is released under license FOO,” that leaves room for
uncertainty about whether the license FOO applies to the code of that
program." so it's better to add statements somewhere to use that
license.
