Public domain? Based on what exactly?
Unless there is license granting you some rights, you don't have any rights to that code (you cannot legally download, use, modify, copy or redistribute it).
- preek 15y agoWhere does it say that exactly? It's a public repository and the author is explicitly linking to it while saying that he has no plans of enforcing any licence.
- piotrSikora 15y agoIn the "Copyright Act". Please don't ask me for specific quote, because I don't know US law, but from what I've read on the topic (http://www.ucop.edu/ott/faculty/crothers.html http://www.ucop.edu/ott/faculty/crothers.html, http://www.wisconsin.edu/gc-off/deskbook/copyrgt.htm http://www.wisconsin.edu/gc-off/deskbook/copyrgt.htm), it's pretty much the same as in the rest of the world, that is: Copyright is automatically granted to the creator of the work (or his employer, in case of "work for hire") and anyone who wants to legally use it needs permission (license) from the copyright holder.
