If a program is marked "public domain", is it really public domain? http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/categories.html [quote] Under the Berne Convention, which most countries have signed, anything written down is automatically copyrighted. This includes programs. Therefore, if you want a program you have written to be in the public domain, you must take some legal steps to disclaim the copyright on it; otherwise, the program is copyrighted. [/quote]
