There are people out there busy rereleasing public domain software
under the GPL.

And thats perfectly legit- if tis public domain I can do whatever I want with it, including add it to a GPLed project. Of course, a 3rd party can then still bring it into a proprietary project, as it is still public domain. Don't like it? Don't use public domain/
