For the benefit of others, and tell me if I'm telling you to suck eggs, copyright exists immediately is certain types of authored material. Both writing and code are considered literary works. The author of a work has certain rights concerning how it is used, displayed reproduced etc. Licensing is an agreement to waive some of those rights in certain ways, to let other people use the works. When copyright ends (life of the author + 70 years) the works enter the public domain. Once things have 'fallen' into the public domain other people can reuse them in pretty much anyway they wish. Personally I think it would be a good result if the public domain were a richer library of materials for all of us. This is where the Creative Commons Zero (CC0) library seems an exciting development. -- Sent with gnus
