Russell Nelson dixit:

> The author has clearly denied the existence of a copyright.

They cannot.

> The courts are unlikely to assign him one against his wishes.

Wrong, at least for the part of the world not USA.

> Who, then, even has any interest in a lawsuit?

Again, it’s not just about being sued over it.
(That being said, copyright violation is still a… felony, I
think, is the English term for it, and this may have effects.)
