I'm fairly sure that Dan's software is not in the public domain. It
requires a specific and explicit statement by the author to place
something in the public domain, and I've not seen such a statement.
It's covered under a very unclear license, from a legal perspective, at
least relative to the prevailing free source licenses. This seems to
reflect Dan's belief that the basis of most current software licensing is
invalid.
