They've gone through a lot of effort to declare their code as public

How can they sell a license for anything in the public domain?
"Pssst! Hey buddy ... wanna buy an option to have rights to 'Richard III'

You can sell it, it's just a question of who might be dumb enough to buy
it. I think the only people who would buy it are those who somehow don't
think that public domain is valid.
