Some of them actually do. Others have concerns for exposing their work in the public domain for many reasons. - For not (re)selling what they do while they sold their works to a specific publisher. - Many think that the only way literary protection is to to keep hardline (copy)right statements. - Some think that keeping a work more restrictive in cases, makes it more valuable ;) - And finally, some of them did not stated anything about the public availability of their works, and when eventually died, their heirs made their work commercial and restrictive. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
