It appears that the license terms of the file at
Linkname: Current Linux Device List
URL: http://www.lanana.org/docs/device-list/devices.txt
...updated November 2002 if the web page is still correct, are:
This document is in the public domain. The author requests, however,
that semantically altered versions are not distributed without
permission of the author, assuming the author can be contacted without
an unreasonable effort.
In particular, please don't sent patches for this list to Linus, at
least not without contacting me first.
... this isn't consistent with my sense of the magic words "public
domain."
Text in full includes which forms are maintained, homepage, and which
kernel meisters are acceping new device values. See the URL above.
