Laws don't define all the phrases they use, and they generally avoid defining phrases they don't use. This one is probably not defined because the laws do not actually need to use the phrase. Aside from some people incorrectly using "public domain" as a synonym for "shareware" (and similar misuses), I am not aware of any serious dispute as to what the term means. -- Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho, Jyväskylä, Finland http://antti-juhani.kaijanaho.fi/newblog/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/antti-juhani/
