from: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/license-list.html

"Public Domain
Being in the public domain is not a license--rather, it means the material 
is not copyrighted and no license is needed. Practically speaking, though, 
if a work is in the public domain, it might as well have an all-permissive 
non-copyleft free software license. Public domain status is compatible with 
the GNU GPL. "

... which would indicate (to me?) that putting source code into the 
Public Domain means giving up your copyright???
