It's ironic considering a good chunk of the world outside of the US doesn't recognize public domain. :D
To be more specific. Public domain is intended to mean "after copyrights have expired". It is not a sort of license that can be put on a creation.

Public domain means not covered by copyright. Expiration isn't the only way that happens.
