E.g. Germany and AFAIK most of Europe.
There *is* a concept of "public domain" ("gemeinfrei" in German), but it’s only
for stuff that is "out of copyright", you can’t *put* anything in public domain.
But of course you can *use* public domain stuff from other jurisdictions.
A new license for LSR would only apply to new code, you can’t put existing,
published code under a new license if you aren’t the sole author.
