I think because public domain is a concept that _does_ exist in these countries, but it is just the set of works that satisfy certain conditions (e.g. 70 years passed from the author's death) rather than something you can put your work in. At some point you have to make some assumptions, and "the GPL works" is one of them. Paolo
