Says public domain in the post but all the code says Apache, weird~


Article author probably doesn't realize there's a distinction between "publicly available" and "public domain"


Article author is probably a lawyer (or at least proof-read by a lawyer), so that sounds strange.


German law doesn't have a public domain, so Apache license is as close as you can get.


Why wouldn't MIT or BSD License be closer?


Apache2 has an explicit patent license.
