I think it's best to have "public domain" (or "I don't care what you
do with this, just don't bug me!") as the default, but allow people to
use different licenses if they want.

I really don't expect many people to take advantage of this
possibility though, but in the rare cases where someone wants to
publish something under a different license, it should be allowed.

Or we could just link it...
