Public domain is one of the free licenses, clearly described by Creative Commons.

General rules

[edit]

Public domain can be the result of either:

  • 70 years after the death of the author
  • autonomous decision by the author
  • generic decision by the government (USA)

National exceptions can be valid (extended rights in France for war victims).

Combinations

[edit]

Combinations can be made, i.e. the base text in CC BY-SA, the publication under classic copyright as with the book Schrijven voor Wikipedia.
