If a program is marked "public domain", is it really public domain?

Under the Berne Convention, which most countries have signed, anything written
down is automatically copyrighted. This includes programs. Therefore, if you want
a program you have written to be in the public domain, you must take some legal
steps to disclaim the copyright on it; otherwise, the program is copyrighted.
