Note that (AIUI) placing code in the public domain leaves you liable
for damages from somebody misusing it. You have to retain copyright
just to be able to disclaim liability, in the license -- but then you
need to actually have a license. That's why you don't see much public
domain software. (I am not a lawyer.)
