I went through this with some public domain source of my own (Microsoft is the patent holder...). My work is listed as prior art in the patent text. I talked with a patent attorney at my company, and he told me that if I submitted the work in public domain, then anybody was free to copy/use it. In fact he interrupted me and gave me the answer before I finished my first sentence. This is apparently a common "rubber stamp" question in the patent world.

The main thing to consider is that when you make something public domain, you make it available for anybody in the world to use for any reason whatsoever (including making money from your work).
