I've just received a reply from Christian Bizouard, the new head of the IERS Earth Orientation Center.
Well done.
He agrees with my proposal to add a copyright notice to the IERS leap second file, which expresses that the file can freely be copied, and asks for a proposal for an appropriate wording.
I'm also not neither too familiar with legal stuff concerning copyright, nor is English my native language, so eventually someone can propose a simple sentence which can be added to the leap second file.
Try: "The copyright holder grants permission for any person to publish copies of this file without royalty or other payment provided that any such copy is of the complete file without alterations and is accompanied by the URL of this original file." -- Clive D.W.
