You cannot simultaneously have a work be unprotected by copyright (or subject to appropriation by anyone) and retain moral rights on that work. The moral rights are tied into the copyright. Now, the copyright holder(s) could grant an extremely permissive license on that work, CC-0 is an excellent example of a license specifically crafted to work around precisely this issue and come to the same practical end-result as a public domain declaration where the copyright holder is in a jurisdiction without moral rights. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-review
