The Terekhov person was quoting Prof. Bernstein?  ;->  How very droll.
Bernstein is of course one of the primary people propagating the
aforementioned hapless confusion between property abandonment and public
domain.  I made a point of creating an entire section of my page about
PD-dedication attempts to clearing up confusion created by Dan's page --
and pointing out his non-sequitur arguments claiming that you
specifically were misinformed, attributing to you positions you don't
hold and never articulated, etc.
