Is it really public domain?

May we distribute binaries?

   You may distribute a precompiled package if

     * installing your package produces exactly the same files, in exactly the same locations, that a user would obtain by
       installing one of my packages listed above;
     * your package behaves correctly, i.e., the same way as normal installations of my package on all other systems; and
     * your package's creator warrants that he has made a good-faith attempt to ensure that your package behaves correctly.

   All installations must work the same way; any variation is a bug. If there's something about a system (compiler,
   libraries, kernel, hardware, whatever) that changes the behavior of my package, then that platform is not supported, and
   you are not permitted to distribute binaries for it.

   You may distribute an operating system that includes a precompiled package under the same rules.

What about test packages?

   You may distribute exact copies of any of the following packages, or precompiled packages under the same rules as above,
   until the termination date shown:

   Termination           MD5 checksum                   Package
   2003-07-01  1871af2453d6e464034968a0fbcb2bfc daemontools-0.76.tar.gz
   2003-07-01  39b619147db54687c4a583a7a94c9163 ucspi-tcp-0.88.tar.gz
Why can't we rename your files?

   Compatibility is essential. Files must be accessible by the same names on all systems.

Inside source tarball some source files are marked as Public Domain, but
not all - especially files containing main() for programs are not.
