I don't know. I can understand the principle that if something is PD then you can't claim licence conditions on it, however some who've indicated that they have a better grasp of the law than I do have indicated that if you try to simultaneously say something is PD and assert conditions then the law will err on the side of caution and the work is in fact not PD even if you said it was. The conditions as stated in the book (and comments in the files) are not worded as "encouragements" they are worded as constraints that must be followed.
