RMS doesn't think so.

Remember, M$ took lots of src that had been put in the bublic domain,
cleaned it up, and closed it again.

   UC Berkeley Ingres project ---+---> PostgreSQL
                                 |
                                 +---> M$ SQL Server

If putting things in the public domain were enough, there would be no GPL
and no FSF.
