"Public Domain" has a very specific legal meaning, | and 99% of FOSS does _not_ meet it. Public Domain is when the copyright | holder has explicitly abandoned his/her/its copyright on the work and | placed it into the Public Domain. (Note: In some countries, such as | Germany, this is impossible) Tom is right about the meaning of "public domain" in US law. This is not the meaning in the Wassenaar Agreement. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
