This is pretty minor, but:

     1. I just noticed that both grdc.c and grdc.6 (in src/games/grdc)
        say "Copyright 2002 Amos Shapir.  Public domain."  The US
        Copyright Office says[1], essentially, that copyright and public
        domain are mutually exclusive categories.

     2. I found a message from Theo in the archives from 2003[2] listing
        grdc as one of the items of which the license was clarified
        during an audit.

     3. I vaguely remember that it may not be possible to place
        something in the public domain in some countries.

Is the somewhat strange notice because of #3 (or is #3 even true)?  Or
is the notice misworded?  Or...?
