I think one of the reasons to use a permissive license is to include a liability disclaimer. If you just put something into the public domain, you run the risk of someone blaming you for their misuse.
So, what license is the closest to public domain as possible? There are a few OpenShader components I'd like to share this way. For instance, Chris Matrakidis designed for me a multiplier circuit that uses only three 18x18 block multiplier units (instead of 4), and if he's okay with it, I'll share it this way. This is one of those things that wasn't necessarily totally trivial to design, but it strikes me as "just math," so I don't feel right trying to restrict its use, especially since the next person doing the same thing will do it in much the same way. -- Timothy Normand Miller, PhD Assistant Professor of Computer Science, Binghamton University http://www.cs.binghamton.edu/~millerti/ Open Graphics Project
