regarding all the confusion related to licensing . I am going to include gnu/gpl v3 with the src code and mention it in every file. and the app is in public domain, free to use, redistribute,modify and improve.
This is excellent. However, as Anurag also pointed out, it must be either GPLv3+ or public domain -- it can't be both.
If you would like to contribute towards reducing the noise on this list,
Noise !!! I do not think so. we were just discussing about the possibilities and corresponding laws. This discussion is more productive then end-less flame wars.
you might want to make a simple statement. Something like: "I release my software FOO available at http://BAR/BAZ under GNU GPL v3+" in a mail should do it.
I do not think this should go. I can tell such statement in my private mailing list too. Copyright notice and Copying/License files must present on source code. I do not think that giving permission to mailing list will work. Also, if somebody write name of license (Ex GNU GPLv3) as you wrote above, then he must write the location (software or physical Postal address) to get the license file.
