You can re-copyright and license public domain code, if it's in the public
domain it's fair game for anyone to do anything with.
 
I've never been sure how to determine whether something actually
is in the public domain though. According to someone at NCSA, who
I've been discussing licensing with for Apache, you just need a
notice that says "This code is placed in the public domain".
