Under: "Public domain software" ... Is this statement: --- [ begin quote ] --- Under the Berne Convention, which most countries have signed, anything written down is automatically copyrighted. This includes programs. Therefore, if you want a program you have written to be in the public domain, you must take some legal steps to disclaim the copyright on it; otherwise, the program is copyrighted. --- [ end quote ] --- So is it possible to write a program and state on the program (eg. in the About box) that it is public domain and thereby make the program public domain? _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
