 We license this software via GPLv2+ to everybody. To license something, it
 needs to have a copyright (reversed, you cannot license something that has
 no assigned creator). Also, internationally there is nothing like "public
 domain" like in the usa. We can rely on mercurial to do this, but if
 somebody only looks at the source there has this to be. You can read more
 about this in the history of international copyright (e.g. berne
 convention) and of course in the text of the GPL itself.
