Hello Jeremy, Wednesday, June 20, 2001, 12:32:45 PM, you wrote: JCR> I am interested in hearing opinions, ideas and references on why using a JCR> BSD-type license is better (or not better) than simply releasing code as JCR> "public domain". You can read Brian Behlendorf's thought on the matter in _Open Sources_, which you can find here: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/opensources/book/brian.html His essay doesn't include a discussion of public domain, just a brief mention of why they chose a BSD-type license for Apache. I seem to recall someone else talking about public domain code in that book, but I don't remember who.
