The least restrictive license, allowing anyone to do anything they wish with the product except own it (this includes modifying it and/or selling it for profit).
Unlike any other license, this one is (theoretically) irrevocable. Copyright holders retain the right to change the terms under which copies are allowed. Copyright holders can change GPL, BSD, or MIT, to proprietary, for examples. But declaring Public Domain is a final relinquishing of Copyright, no changing terms after that.
