While I agree with you about both reasons, I disagree about what we |
| 10 |
should do about it. IMHO, changing the license of the existing GLEPs |
| 11 |
that are marked public domain is not worth the effort. |

For future GLEPs, we could recommend CC0 instead of public domain, |
| 14 |
which would solve the problem of definitions differing from country to |
| 15 |
country, without imposing any additional restrictions on reusing the |
| 16 |
document. |
