Copyright assignment makes management a hell of a lot easier for them. 
They have the authority to sue anyone who uses any part of their 
projects, and they don't have to go through their records to determine this.

This is one reason why public domain code is not particularly 
interesting for them.

Of course, they can put a comment the relevant code to the effect that 
the original is in the public domain, which should take care of the problem.
