I see what you mean about public domain here for example: http://www.mingw.org/license *MinGW Runtime:* All releases of the MinGW base runtime package, prior to release 4.0, have been placed in the public domain, and are not governed by copyright. This basically means that you can do what you like with the code.
Due to inadmissibility of the public domain concept, in certain jurisdictions, we have now chosen to adopt a MIT style license for the principal components of the MinGW runtime, from release 4.0 onwards; you may view this LICENSE, as it is filed in the source code repository<https://sourceforge.net/p/mingw/mingw-org-wsl/ci/21762bb4a1bd0c88c38eead03f59e8d994349e83/tree/LICENSE> .
