[Reuse] Where to put a licence header

[Max Mehl]

Dear all,

When discussing with Reinhard how the FSFE's technical teams can comply
with REUSE, we wondered which files actually need a license header. In
the current practices, REUSE only speaks about "source code files", but
also about "each file".

For our code files, the case it quite obvious. For our community
database, an exemplary file is [^1].

But what about a Dockerfile (like [^2]). IANAL, but it seems like such
simple instructions do not meet the threshold of originality. Do they
still need license header? And would that rather be a code licence like
GPL, or a content licence like CC?

We also wondered if and how CSS files can be licensed according to
REUSE.

Best,
Max

PS: I am aware that these might also be more general licensing
questions, but I think that REUSE should provide answers to those as
well.
