I know that OSI discourages attempting to put software into the public domain: http://www.opensource.org/faq#public-domain. In the ongoing debate about copy-left vs. permissiveness, I find myself in agreement with the zen master described here: http://jasonpriem.org/2011/02/open-access-3-koans/ (#3).
Daniel probably has an opinion.
Cheers!

Hi, Konrad, one more question: will you be able to attend the conference yourself, in person? It doesn't matter if not; it's just that the submission form asks who will be attending.

I am strongly in favour of Public Domain dedications for data but can't see any way in which this code could meaningfully serve as data any time soon, so I won't object to GPLv3.

No, unfortunately I won't be able to come.

source software that use Public Domain like sqlite and qmail. In
general I am more a BSD license (ISC [1]) person but we can work with
GPLv3.
