I guess that's related to the fact that you can't put something in the public domain according to the EU law on author's rights. You can give everyone permission to copy & (re)distribute & (re)publish it for free forever, but you can't legally say "I'm not the author anymore" or "I refuse all my rights (and plights) as an author". -- Jan Claeys --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
