Purpose of this template edit
The only difference (as I type this) between this licensing statement and Template:MultiLicensePD are the words "and image" in the first sentence (plus, I've simplified the table code a bit). - dcljr 20:48, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Retiring edit
Because it's actually legally impossible to grant one's own works into the public domain in the U.S. and U.K., and this creates serious potential legal problems, I will deprecate this tag if there is no dissent for 4 days. Please see Wikipedia:You can't grant your work into the public domain for a full explanation along with some authoritative sources, including the U.S. Copyright Office. I have created the tags {{TextLicenseFreeUse}} and {{ImageLicenseFreeUse}}, which together reflect the intent of this template. Deco 03:33, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Please ignore the above. This template has not been retired and there was considerable dissent over the accuracy of my statements. I no longer contend that it is impossible to release one's works into the public domain - I am not a lawyer and there is no legal precedent in this matter. The link above should redirect to relevent discussion. Deco 05:34, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
