Publish it now under a permissive license, then assign it to the FSF. There's nothing they can do to revoke the existing license. Note that declaring it public domain has no advantages over a permissive license, except to make it easier for Chaotic Evil Monsters (think "SCO") to give you an invitation to court that you can't refuse, or to abuse your good name to advertise their products. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
