Code on Github: https://github.com/urbit/urbit https://github.com/urbit/urbit This seems crazy ambitious on its own, and add to it that it's public domain. Very curious where this will be headed.

Could you please explain what being "public domain" adds to it?
- jevinskie 12y ago
  It enables use (personal and especially corporate) with as little licensing fretting as possible.

    It just sounded as if being public domain somehow makes project more ambitious (that is, means to be more difficult to complete than if it wasn't public domain), so I probably just misunderstood.

    Except that some jurisdictions in the world don't have the concept of public domain, so, in those places, this code is legally in a very weird place. It's much better (IMO) to assert copyright, and then release under the most permissive license possible.

      Yes, some people have made this criticism. We'll be thinking about it.
