Hm, that's a new point. Sofar I've thought that there are jurisdictions where you can't actively assign your copyright to the public, because the public is no legal entity, but I've assumed that there still is the concept of "Public Domain". Actually I can't imagine how IP-laws can work without this concept. If you are right then I need to reword the license such that the user can choose which jurisdictions concept of public domain he likes to use. Would that still be a valid license? Harald
