TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I think you'd better check (possibly with the University of
Melbourne) that it really is public-domain software. What you
may have is something that is freely available, in the sense that
the copyright owner will allow anyone to make copies, but possibly
with restrictions on alterations or charging for it. (All the
gnu stuff from the Free Software Foundation falls under a similar
set of rules, for example). If it is public domain, that claim
of copyright would be deceptive.
