France, and many other jurisdictions, don't recognise the concept of releasing directly into the public domain, so in this case would leave you high and dry in the future theoretical of the original author changing his mind about your use of his library.
If people really want to release into the public domain, public domain with French exceptions like CC0 are the best option.
- detaro 9y agoTweetNaCl-js is under such a "public domain with fallback" license, so I'm not sure what you are complaining about. (And even if it weren't, pure use is not as critical as e.g. wanting to contribute to it)
- lisper 9y agoIt is unlikely in the extreme that DJB would ever try to enforce the copyright on TweetNaCl. But yes, if you want to use SC4 in France, I guess that's a risk you'll have to take. There's nothing I can do about that.
