+This file exists to be the target of
+
+LICENSE= public-domain
+
+It is pointed to by packages whose contents are not subject to
+copyright. (Note that this file does not actually define a license;
+we use this mechanism rather than adding a COPYRIGHTED variable
+because public domain files are fairly rare and in such cases the
+convenience of LICENSE=public-domain is more important than
+pendantry.)
