Public Domain Ideas
,----[ Quote ]
| Public Domain Ideas (PDI) is a place where ideas and inventions can be
| submitted to the public domain. It's like open-source software, but for ideas
| instead of code. Once an idea is submitted to PDI, it immediately goes into
| the public domain and cannot be patented. That means anyone is free to
| develop the concept without fear of litigation, and without having to pay
| licensing fees.

Happy Public Domain Day!
,----[ Quote ]
| Michael sez, "It's January 1st! Do you know what works are passing into the
| public domain in the life+50, and life+70 countries? Lots! Here in the USA
| (where basically nothing published in 1923 or later will ever enter the
| public domain, to protect Disney's 'Steamboat Willie'), only unpublished
| works of the life+70 class of authors enter the public domain. Whew. Thank
| goodness for small favors, right?. We can now expect the unpublished works of
| George Gershwin, H.P. Lovecraft, Amelia Earhart, J.M. Barrie, and John
| Davison Rockefeller (yeah right), among many others, to be free and clear of
| copyright encumbrances for those who wish to publish them. Boy, unpublished
| works! Wow! After 70 years since they died, there must be lots of those
| hanging around, right? Right?"
