I'm going to jump in and say that you may consider any of my PKGBUILDs to be under the WTFPL (google it, text may not be worksafe if they object to Anglo-Saxon epithets. I'm sure you get the idea).
Speaking of which I never understood how it was possible for a jurisdiction to not have the concept of a 'public domain' (thus necessitating the WTFPL). For example, where does a patented process go after the expiration of the patent? Oh and once again I vote we public domain (or as close as possible) all PKGBUILD's in the AUR. And one last point I want to bring up. Often PKGBUILD's are distributed with patches or other works not written by the author of the PKGBUILD. I'm not an expert but it seems to me that the license on the PKGBUILD would have to be compatible with the license on each such bundled work. --Kaiting. -- Kiwis and Limes: http://kaitocracy.blogspot.com/
