I see one major difference between code placed into the 'public domain'
and code that's under GPL, MIT, BSD and other various licenses.
(All of which require that the modified code must be released
along with the resulting program)

That difference being that 'public domain' does _not_ require
modified code the be released along with its resulting program.

Therefore, any program which started as 'public domain' code would
for all intents and purposes end-up being "proprietary" and could
be sold thereby making profit from someone else's work without
being required to pay the original authors any of those profits.

Hmmmm...
sounds just about like what MicroSoft has been doing for over 40yrs.
