hal finney quotes: "Public domain" is defined in 120.18: "Public domain means information which is published and which is generally accessible to the public: (a) Through sales at newsstands and bookstores; (b) Through subscriptions which are available without restriction to any individual who desires to obtain or purchase the published information; (c) Through second class mailing privileges granted by the U.S. Government; or, (d) At libraries open to the public." I'm way out of my depth here, but can it be argued that what constitutes ublic domain" is not being exhaustively defined here? That is, does the legalese here mean that ONLY a,b,c, and d publishing modes are PD, or can you argue that a,b,c, and d are just *examples* of PD publishing, and that there are other modes that just weren't mentioned. If making something available for anonymous FTP is not putting it in the public domain, then what the hech is it?
