Public Domain Dedication
A Public Domain Dedication is a legal tool that allows the creator of a work—such as writing, art, or music—to voluntarily give up their rights and make that work freely available for anyone to use, share, modify, or distribute without needing permission or paying royalties. It effectively places the work into the public domain, meaning it’s no longer owned by anyone and can be used freely by the public. This encourages widespread access and collaboration, fostering creativity and innovation.
