Grant Permission??

How can you "grant permission" to something you have placed in the public domain.

It's either public domain, in which case I can do with it as I like (yes ,attribution is the ethical thing to do) OR
it is not public domain, in which case I need you to
"grant permission" for me to be able to use it
"subject only" to attribution.

Six lines is also awful long. And what about the
"Unless otherwise indicated"? Indicated where?

I read this as a license, subject to the requirement of attribution.
