Robert Burrell Donkin closed LEGAL-75.
--------------------------------------
> Public domain code clarification
> --------------------------------
>
> Key: LEGAL-75
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-75
> Project: Legal Discuss
> Issue Type: Question
> Reporter: Sebb
> Assignee: Robert Burrell Donkin
>
> The Resolved Questions page [1] only mentions Public Domain in connection with Doug Lea's concurrent library.
> Public Domain is not specifically listed under any category.
> A concrete example is the code at [0] which says:
> <quote>
> Written by Brian Goetz and Tim Peierls with assistance from members of
> JCP JSR-166 Expert Group and released to the public domain, as explained at
> http://creativecommons.org/licenses/publicdomain
> </quote>
> The CC document [2] linked above includes the words "or Public Domain Certification".
> I think it would be helpful if [1] were updated to clarify whether the inclusion of [2] "Creative Commons Copyright-Only Dedication" means that all works "released to the public domain" are covered, or only works that follow the example above and reference [2].
