While I personally would prefer to receive credit for things I wrote, It is
unreasonable to implement. Rob Hayden's proposal seems to be the most
reasonable compromise. While public domain may disappoint some people, it is
really the only fair way to do this.

As for being retro-active, I'd say yes. I don't really
see how it could be otherwise, since we all refer to previous material constant
ly, and our current threads have grown out of older ones in one way or another.
If you ask me, making the copyright non-retroactive would be like copyrighting
the last chapter of a book, but not the first 10!

Yes for public domain, yes for retroaction
