As yet said on this list, this notion of (and the words) public domain is not common to all countries and more where it exists it can be impossible to place something voluntarily in the public domain. A work *fall*[^1] in the public domain, it is not *placed*. [^1]: excuse my poor english, but the french expression is "tomber dans le domaine public"
The standard replacement for this problem is something along the lines of: "The author(s) of this script expressly place it in the public domain. In jurisdictions where this is not legally possible, the author(s) place no restrictions on this script's usage." -- Andrew Donnellan http://andrewdonnellan.com http://ajdlinux.blogspot.com Jabber - ajdlinux@jabber.org.au GPG - hkp://subkeys.pgp.net 0x5D4C0C58 ------------------------------- Member of Linux Australia - http://linux.org.au Debian user - http://debian.org Get free rewards - http://ezyrewards.com/?id=23484 OpenNIC user - http://www.opennic.unrated.net
