Let ‘Em Have It! The Possibilities of Public Domain Publishing

Saturday 2:00 Room 1

Presenters: Joseph Corneli & Charles Jeffrey Danoff

By default, most publishers choose “All rights reserved” as the copyright choice for their work. Perhaps even without consideration of any other approach. Building off the work done in the software industry, copyright licensing has become more common in the last decade or so where publishers give permission for others to copy or modify works with a certain amount of attribution. The most extreme choice is dedicating it to the public domain where anyone can do whatever they want with the work. Joe and Charlie did that with a few books over the years, join the session to learn about their experience and copyright options in general.
