Sure, but that's assuming that Carsten knows what the public domain is. No offense intended, I just don't know him. OTOH, Bernstein's reputation as a copyright crank is well-deserved, you know, even if it's been several years since he changed his mind. Unfortunately, that attitude has meant that his software, which is universally respected for its security and performance, has been relegated to the backwaters of FLOSS (because it usually wasn't).
