I think the statement makes perfect sense. There are countries, where you cannot give up your
rights (Germany and I think many other EU countries as well).
I would interpret this then in the following way:
If you live in a country where you can give up your rights, you can get those templates as "public
domain".
If you live in a country where you cannot give up your rights, you can get those templetes under
the "GPL".
Sounds reasonable to me.
Sigrid
