The license for a front end has to be GPL v2 compatible. Not GPL v2
necessarily.  And anyway, public domain is *not a license* - it is
relinquishing copyright on it. Read wikipedia on public domain
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_domain

Also compare with: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLUSGov and the
one below it.

God Bless,
Ben
