New Theme for 220x176x16: Winterdark

<< < (2/3) > >>

wintermute23:
Well, I hereby release it into the public domain, license-free.

I was kind of assuming that by releasing it, and not mentioning a specific license, then it would default to PD, but I suppose that's a bad assumption.

Anyway, there you go.

Great! but you have to be more specific than that, you should specify a license type (for example from http://creativecommons.org/about/license/) where the theme is posted (the wiki. see the theme just before yours) and in the .wps and .cfg files to leave out any possible doubts.

wintermute23:
Um, no.

CC licenses are not public domain, but rather a flavour of copyright. As I have released it into the public domain, no CC license is compatible. The fact that it is PD is specified in the wiki.

soap:
It is all well and good expressing your intention to release it into the public domain, but please attach a notice of said intent to the WPS itself, either in the .wps file or in a "license.txt" file in the .zip.
Also please make note of such on the wiki.

you don't need to specify any license for anything. CC licenses are just a comfortable way for copyright holders to release their works for different kinds of uses.
