<p><font size="-2">My understanding of CC0 is that it is a
declaration that you have placed the work in the public domain,
with a fallback license in case the law in a particular
jurisdiction doesn't permit that. If the user takes the CC0
option, what is the status of the individual assets that are
bundled into the export? Are they in the public domain or still
copyrighted by the MakeHuman authors?<br></font></p></div></blockquote><div>Those particular copies are effectively in the public domain, provided that the MakeHuman folks actually hold copyright. Third party copyrights are of course unaffected.</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><p><font size="-2">

<p><font size="-2">What I find confusing is whether CC0 is a license
that can be applied to a particular copy of a work,</font></p></div></blockquote><div>Every license is applicable only to particular copies. The self-same bunch of bits may have a commercial license for one copy that permits certain acts and forbids others, and a GPL license on another copy which has completely different conditions from the commercial license. As long as the licensor is the owner, that's just fine. SImilarly, bits inside an executable that have been compiled from a BSD source are (at least arguably) under the GPL if other bits in the same executable come from GPLed source.</div><div><br></div><div>-- </div><div><div>John Cowan <a href="http://vrici.lojban.org/~cowan">http://vrici.lojban.org/~cowan</a> <a href="mailto:cowan@ccil.org">cowan@ccil.org</a></div><div>The whole of Gaul is quartered into three halves.</div><div> --Julius Caesar</div></div><div><br></div></div></div></div>
