Keeping authorship for a resume sounds like a somewhat good reason to me. I think you could also use public domain code for a resume, but that may have it's downsides. My question is something like: is keeping copyright worth putting the annoying license in every file? > All files require a copyright and license notice. True, but is the name of the license, or the name + URL enough? Than you could replace the whole ISC license with just the line like: # This file is ISC-licensed. This would make one reason for using public domain less; It won't safe lines in textfiles.
