Then why didn't you do so?

Yet again:
public domain == no restrictions
distribution not for profit != public domain

By at once stating that the binaries are in the public domain and are
for non-profit distribution you have (depending on your point of view)
either invalidated your copyright or made it impossible for anyone
who cares about such things to use your code.  Please, please lets stop
this pointless self-contradiction.
