Mis-information. The Open Source Definition (https://opensource.org/osd https://opensource.org/osd) has no such exclusion. Read it for yourself.
- josephcsible 5y agoSorry, I indeed should have said "deliberately" or "intentionally" instead of "explicitly". What I meant was that it's not included, and that not including it was a conscious choice rather than an oversight: https://opensource.org/node/878 https://opensource.org/node/878 https://opensource.org/faq/#public-domain https://opensource.org/faq/#public-domain My reading is the core problem is that not every jurisdiction recognizes public domain dedications, so for some people, such software may be no different than "all rights reserved".
