   "Public-domain software is software that has been placed in the public domain:   
   in other words, software for which there is absolutely no ownership such as   
   copyright, trademark, or patent. Software in the public domain can be   
   modified, distributed, or    
   sold even without any attribution by anyone; this is unlike the common case of   
   software under exclusive copyright, where software licenses grant limited   
   usage rights."
