I agree with Frederik. The rebuild code contains neither the word
"public" nor "domain" (nor even "PD"). I'm a little worried that the
people who have {{PD-user}} in their wiki page or have checked "Public
Domain" in their OSM profile, or public domain imports such as
source=PGS (regardless of who did the importing) are not being taken
into account.

And I still object to protecting the copyright of anonymous users who
have neither accepted or denied the CT. If they can't be bothered to
do a few clickies to protect their anonymity, we shouldn't bother to
protect their copyright.
