There are a few software projects that I would like to make some custom changes to. However, these projects are not under any form of public version control, e.g. Sorceforge, github, rubyforge, etc. In fact, they are all released as Public Domain, most often some by government agency that hasn't updated the software in years.
Can I take the source code, make changes, put it on, say, github under my name, and release the code under a GPL? Do I need to make any reference that some (most) of the original code was released as Public Domain and from where I got it?
