I would say Creative Commons is hugely different from a public domain because it has one huge premise behind it - that an author has the moral right to dictate to other people how they use his work once he released his work to the public. So CC is just an example of a &quot;kind master&quot;, who mercifully lets you use the work.<br>
<br>In my view such a claim is illegitimate, so to me both GNU GPL and CC are lesser evils, which are necessary weapons in the world of copyright but otherwise would have no moral ground.<br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Louigi Verona<br>
