It doesn't have to be PD we could live with a BSD license or any other license
that doesn't require the user of the code to change his license based on the
license of the source being used.  E.G. BSD will permit you to retain the
Copyright but doesn't force me to use BSD.  BTW, GPL doesn't prevent someone
from lining their pockets with your work.  FSF in fact encourages others to
take the code and make a living at supporting the code for others.
