DJ Bernstein recently placed a bunch of his tools under the public domain. Not all of them have been updated in their license var. They probably all should have LICENSE="public-domain" inside.

sys-process/daemontools
net-dns/djbdns
sys-apps/ucspi-tcp

(maybe others?)

I was only aware of qmail.
Do you have links for his announcements on the rest?

And a bunch of older tools from him already were public domain (stated in source files) but not marked as such.

I just started to apply the changes.
