Funny set of sentences there, was it run past a lawyer?

It is called "public domain" but:
(a) the web page has a copyright box, and
(b) the source code has similar but not exactly the same 
sentences, but with no "Copyright..." label

Is it a design mark? A registered trade mark? Is copyright 
appropriate for a logo design? That was not what I was taught...

Well, if it's called public domain and has a copyright label with 
some restrictions, then there may be a paradox and the universe 
might get destroyed. Be careful...
