Yes, of course. > Can citizens of Germany and Austria assign their copyright interest > to third parties? The exploitation rights can be transferred. These rights are the important rights as far as software is concerned, but an author cannot disclaim or transfer the non-commercial rights (being named as the author, possiblity to prevent distortion and misrepresentation, and so on). > If so, then if you want to contribute code to SQLite, just assign > the copyright to me and I will then dedicate the code to the public > domain, which I can do since I am not a citizen of Austria or > Germany. The contributor can still exercise his or her right to be named as an author, for example, so the result wouldn't be truly public domain.
