Yes. If anything, the length of verbiage that Creative Commons feels necessary to effectively place a work in the public domain, under the current copyright regime, only supports the idea that it's significantly *more* complicated than working with copyright and using an appropriate license. In that light, I think that anyone contemplating applying CC0 to a work would be far better to use the Expat license terms instead. -- \ “The cost of education is trivial compared to the cost of | `\ ignorance.” —Thomas Jefferson | _o__) | Ben Finney <ben@benfinney.id.au>
