OpenBSD: Free As In Air

,----[ Quote ]
| Later in the discussion it was asked why the OpenBSD project used the BSD 
| license rather than simply releasing the code into the Public Domain. Theo 
| explained, "we wish to retain the legal right to be known as the author, 
| and not have our names taken off the files. With public domain, that stuff 
| at the top of the file is taken away first, before anything else is done," 
| noting that this is explained in the license at the top of each 
| file, "just that bit; nothing else."
