Does this mean there are cases where the work cannot actually be placed into the public domain ? To be practical, are these files all right to be listed as 'public-domain' in debian/copyright : * without copyright notice * with a short notice 'There is no licence for this, I don't care what you do with it' * without copyright notice, and an explicit 'this code is under public domain' * the same as above, but with a copyright <name> <year> next to it, (i made that last example, to be sure i get it) > then that usually means that it has no copyright, and therefore automatically > satisfies the DFSG so long as there is source. > > In countries where this isn't the case,[1] then it may not, but Debian > has never claimed to be able to work around all countries broken legal > systems. > Beyond that, I'm afraid I'm unable to follow what you're asking for, > exactly.
