There's a couple of things which claim to be in the public domain
but include copyright-covered work from places which don't have such a
simple way to put things into the public domain AFAIK. One example is
chat, in the ppp package. I think we usually take our best guess and
accept them, which seems a good idea to me.
Hope that explains,
