"public domain" is not a legal "license" in some countries.  In other
words, you can't totally give away all your rights.  So, an explicit
license is required.

I learned this while taping the FLOSS Weekly show about SQLite
(twit.tv/floss26), which Richard Hipp placed in "the public domain" before
determining that later there would be problems. :)
