Right. I hit this recently for ros-rviz, which has tongoproject icons
(public domain). It insisted on a licence paragraph even where there
wasn't one.

I just copied the text of the public domain statement from the website in this case:
https://tracker.debian.org/media/packages/r/ros-rviz/copyright-1.11.10%2Bdfsg-1
(which then cause another (wrong) lintian warning about the GPL as
that is mentioned in the text)
That text came from the bottom of http://tango.freedesktop.org/
Can you find a similar statement for your project?
