At least the rule in many countries is that if you created something, put it out for free on the internet, does *not* mean one can do anything with it, such as reselling. You automatically have that copyright and anyone who wants to use it for their business must ask you.
@pythno @cwebber Not sure what you mean. Under US law, and that of jurisdictions that use the same or a similar system, you're right: Copyright is automatic. And merely posting something publicly is not the same as waiving that copyright. But if something does have no copyright at all (i.e. true public domain), then unless it infringes *other* rights (like trademark, personality, moral rights in countries that have them) then wouldn't that mean it can be used for anything?
