That article looks solely at software. Distributions on the CPAN are
not just software. I can imagine *lots* of applications that combine
perl code (under a licence such as BSD or whatever) and a public domain
work. If you're going to allow multiple licences (which IMO is
necessary) then there's a place for "public domain" in the list.
