But it doesn't say it is public domain nor invalidate the contract between the user.

Not Copyrightable != Public Domain

Nope, that's exactly what it means.

Some works are not covered by a country's copyright laws, and are therefore in the public domain; for example, in the United States, items excluded from copyright include the formulae of Newtonian physics and cooking recipes.
