Please add "Public Domain" to "license" list - FSF accepts this.

Oh, if it's any help - the Free Software Foundation (FSF)
specifically states that "public domain software" meets the
Free Software definition (and that they believe it meets
the open source definition also). See this:
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/categories.html
It would be odd if public domain software source code
wasn't open source software; it meets every criteria of the
OSD, and older versions of the OSD made it clear that
public domain software is open source software.
