I think I missed that previous "mention". What were the problems?
Surely code openly released by the copyright holder without an
explicit license becomes "public domain" and can be used in any way by
whomever as they see fit.

is of type "application/pgp-signature". Don't worry, it is not a
virus. It is an electronic signature, that may be used to verify this
email came from me if you have PGP or GPG installed. Otherwise, you
may safely ignore this attachment.
