So what do you do if a company contacts you for a commercial license? If the rights are permanently waived, how do you offer a different license?

- fluoridation 5y agoThe right copyright gives is a monopoly on distribution and on granting of conditional permission to distribute. The right is the monopoly itself, not the ability to do it. If you waive that right, you're saying that anyone is allowed to distribute and to grant permission to distribute. An author of a work in the public domain can license their work to someone under any license -- as can anyone else.
