Sure, Ter ostensibly has the copyright to it, and do what he pleases.
If you argue it's public-domain, then Ter can *assume* copyright (as
can I, or anyone else, for that matter) and do as they please.

My take is that by contributing code back to the mainline, you
acquiese to the license of the mainline, which to this point has
been public-domain.
