Hmm, well, if it's really _public domain_, i.e. noone claims any right
on it, then we (``The FreeBSD Project'' or even The Regents...)  can
claim the copyright on it as well.  That's what public domain means.

If it's not public domain (but freeware in any other sense), some
copyright of the original authors should be added.
