    Hello,

    * License : public-domain

    That looks very strange for me:

    Either something is reallly public domain, than you don't need any
    licence. Or you need a licence, than you have to know the text of that
    licence.

    Even if someone calls his or hers licence "public domain" you need such
    a text (like CC0-1.0, which seems to be longer than BSD 2-clause).

    " The laws of most jurisdictions throughout the world automatically conferexclusive Copyright and Related Rights (defined below) upon the
    creator and subsequent owner(s) (each and all, an "owner") of an
    original work of authorship and/or a database (each, a "Work")."

    (see CC0-1.0)

    Same is valid for software. Therefor you need a licence.

    Ok, an anarchist may have an other point of view or opinion.

    But other humans should ask for a clear, irrevocable and binding licence
    (see "Tentacles of evil").

    Kind regards
    Michael

    Hi Michael,

    Although the public domain is not a license, it can be placed in the license Field. Take a look at https://wiki.debian.org/DFSGLicenses#Public_Domain.
