[socal-piggies] License question

I've heard mixed comments about "Public Domain" software.  Some say it's 
an all-permissive license, some say it isn't a license.  Some say it 
doesn't truly exist, that even if you say something is PD, it's still 
under your own copyright.  Others say that if you make something PD, 
it's truly a free for all, and someone else can come along, take the PD 
code, copyright it, and legally bar the original author from having any 
rights to the code they wrote.
