Ecchi, sorry, but robots.txt is an open and public file. No hack or trespass occurs in accessing the file.

There is a difference however between "public domain" and "free to be viewed by the public". People often confuse the terms. Any file not requiring a password on your server that can be accessed in a normal manner is open for publiv view.

However, it isn't public domain, which would suggest that others could use it for commercial purposes without permission, resell it, etc.

That isn't the case here.
