Hm, I've just had a look at the current file once more:
https://hpiers.obspm.fr/iers/bul/bulc/ntp/leap-seconds.list
I don't see any copyright statement at all in it, nor in the directory
containing the file.
Would we require a statement telling explicitly that permission to copy
the file is granted?

I think this is true. I've been earlier in touch with the folks who
create the file so I'll contact them and ask ...
