That's what lawyers and different juristictions debate. A) Some people claim to do things (write programs for example) that they hand over to "public domain". This may or may not be accepted legally. B) 70 years (or so) after the author of a work dies, that work becomes public domain. The copyright expires. That's virtually "no copyright" to me at least. > however I think Tomer's original statement about VirtualBox being out in the > public domain (without the capitals) is meaningful. As I tried to explain, I was only nitpicking about the term Public Domain, as Virtualbox is by no means Public Domain. Neither express nor implied. It is (still) Free Software and Open Source. -- / daniel.haxx.seReceived on 2009-05-31 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
