Both Larry Rosen (the OSI's lawyer) and Richard Stallman (who presumably got advice from Eben Moglen) disagree that there's a problem with making a public domain declaration stick (after all, it's your copyright, you can not-enforce it if you like). However the inability to disclaim liability is a potential problem. The PSF's lawyer also presumably disagrees to some extent, since the Python Enhancement Proposals are all public domain. I don't really see how a public domain dedication makes things simpler than BSD/MIT-X11/AFL/CC-do-whatever-you-want for anybody, though. I think it's a good idea to pick a single one of those (probably not AFL for tests, since it has that annoying "try to get recipients to agree to the license" clause). _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
