William Crim: I can't really think of too many EXPLICITLY public domain pieces of code.Below is the license excerpted from one of my code files. Note the conditions under which public domain explicitly applies. I omit the copyright because it's simple and obvious (for myself in some year).
// LICENSE: This "ethical license" has three parts: FREE, KEEP, and PEEL: // 1. FREE: You are free to do anything as long as you either KEEP or PEEL; // 2. KEEP: You must keep the COPYRIGHT and LICENSE unchanged, or else PEEL; // 3. PEEL: You can peel off both COPYRIGHT and LICENSE to yield an embedded // public domain version of this file if and only if you remove all comments // from the source code written by the copyright holder; for a public domain // copy of this file, every single original coding comment must be removed.
