declaration of public-domain
Although
I am not anywhere near the end of my natural lifespan,
I volitionally
bequeath all these works to an ideal version of “the public domain”.
What
this means is that:
No
restrictions or limitations on your usage, distribution or resultant
creativity.
No
legalistic loopholes.
Everything
here is simply flat-out free for everyone, everywhere, everywhen.
It
doesn’t matter what species or galaxy or parallel dimension or alternate
continuum in some nonlinear timeline.
...
Plagiarism
is impossible when all this is thus given in its entirety to our common totality,
for
what I myself accomplished was itself inspired by a long chain of inspiration,
without
which nothing here would have happened.
...
It
would be wise to note from where your own ideas derive, though. Because if you
lay claims to some concept, you might forget that it derived in dependence upon
some other insight made by another entity.
...
An
example of truly free usage: if it helped a person struggling in poverty, they could seriously just print copies of this stuff, and support
themselves through such an endeavour without making any compensation in return.
Likewise,
no corporation could ever claim monopolistic control over these things, even if they
repurposed them. But I also don’t deny access either.
I’d
prefer that whatever might come from contact with these works to continue
increasing goodness in this universe, rather than any negative endeavours. But
I can’t & won’t enforce anything. So please consider this as guidance meant
to stimulate thoughtful reflection on the repercussions of all our actions, which should
hopefully evoke a feeling to work towards the highest & widest of
benevolent intentions.
