If you state that something of yours is in the public domain, you have abandoned your claim of copyright. It is only copyright which permits you to implement licensing terms (well, patents do as well but I assume they don't apply here). The license is fundamentally self-contradictory and meaningless. Someone very badly needs to speak with him and educate him on these issues. As it stands, his work probably reverts to the default copyright state...his, with all rights reserved. -- G.
