  public domain
       
          (PD) The total absence of copyright protection.  If
          something is "in the public domain" then anyone can copy it or
          use it in any way they wish.  The author has none of the
          exclusive rights which apply to a copyright work.
       
          The phrase "public domain" is often used incorrectly to refer
          to freeware or shareware (software which is copyrighted
          but is distributed without (advance) payment).  Public domain
          means no copyright -- no exclusive rights.  In fact the phrase
          "public domain" has no legal status at all in the UK.
       
          See also archive site, careware, charityware,
          copyleft, crippleware, guiltware, postcardware and
          -ware.  Compare payware.
