 1) Placing code in the public domain means that you can no longer

 a "hold harmless" clause in as part of the copyright (i.e. you can't say
 "by copying this software, you agree to not sue us if it breaks").  Thus,
 if you put code in the public domain, you're liable to all sorts of legal
 nasties if it causes a problem for somebody. 
Huh?  Can this really be true?  In that case, why would anyone put any
piece of software under PD?
