Peter St-Andre has an excellent essay, [http://www.saint-andre.com/thoughts/publicdomain.html "Who's Afraid of the Public Domain?"] that outlines the reasons to release your work into the public domain (PD). |

To release your work into the PD, visit the [http://creativecommons.org/license/publicdomain-2? Creative Commons Public Domain Dedication Form], which will guide you through placing your work under the [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/publicdomain/ Creative Commons Public Domain Dedication (CC-PD)]. It will ask you for your email, name, and title of work, send you a confirmation email to verify your contact information, then autogenerate the license text for you along with instructions for how to include it in your work. |
