It was originally based on templates from www.business.gov (which
doesn't seem to exist anymore...) so I assume it's public domain. It's
never been officially approved by the Foundation, so I assume that's
why it's not been published. However, it is now about 8 years old, and
so needs a review.

For info, it's not a simple thing to do this review - there's quite a
lot of "stuff" in there. I've created https://gitlab.gnome.org/Communit
y/Board/issues/43 so people who are interested in this topic can follow
along at home!
