[OT] Fun with walking package licenses

> Yep, because now its public domain

Did he assign it to the public domain? If not, he has copyright on it. 
(Even something as trivial as that.) Unless, I suppose, he was copying 
somebody else's work and that person had put it in the public domain.

Of course, fair use would pretty much cover almost any use a person 
could make of something that short, unless he were to patent it. (I am 
not saying he should, of course.)
