Re: request for a new port + package
BTW, Public domain is forever. You can't change it because, the moment it is dedicated to the public domain, you no longer have any claim on it. No one has any claim on it. It is owned by the public. Of course, you can claim ownership of any additions you write, but whatever existed that was dedicated to the public domain is public forever. Don't think about re-licensing it. That would be a false claim. You can't license what you don't have any right to.
