I'm happy this is public domain. In 2023 I used the stain images as the basis for a CTF challenge (for BSidesSF). The encoded flag given to participants was https://github.com/BSidesSF/ctf-2023-release/blob/main/alien...

Unfortunately the challenge was a bit too hard and went unsolved during the competition.

It's hard to imagine a reason for it being kept... proprietary?

A lot of people want to slap licenses on things without really thinking about what the license will do (or prevent), in practice.

I like the author's note about the license: "As we do not believe in imaginary property, this package belongs to the public domain."

I think it's much more common to see a Creative Commons license on this sort of thing.
