Huh? Either it's public domain or it's GPL.

Briefly, public domain means anyone can do anything with it, while
under the GPL, you have some restrictions on what people can do with
it (like claim they wrote it and then go and sell it without source
for profit).

IANAL, and you should probably do some reading on your own and make up
your mind on what sort of license you really want. If you want it to
go into coreutils, using the same license (GPL) is a good first step.

Hope this helps,
