Sean:

I'm afraid Joe's correct; a "public domain" work is one whose use by the
general public is unrestricted by copyright or patent.  "Public domain"
isn't synonymous with "publicly available for download at no cost".

The Creative Commons Public Domain Dedication is a means a) for a work
to be certified as unprotected by copyright, or b) for a copyright
holder to relinquish all proprietary rights to a work, so as to enable
unrestricted use by the general public:
