Public domain is problematic  as a license.
At least under US copyright law, there are very few circumstances when
something can actually be public domain.
One example is software written by US government employees.
But I don't think any of those circumstances apply to this library.
So I'm not sure the license is okay.

I'll  also admit to being skepticle of the utility of such a library
given the getrandom() API in libc.
