> The Resolved Questions page [1] only mentions Public Domain in connection with Doug Lea's concurrent library. 
> Public Domain is not specifically listed under any category.
> A concrete example is the code at [0] which says:
> <quote>
>  Written by Brian Goetz and Tim Peierls with assistance from members of
>    JCP JSR-166 Expert Group and released to the public domain, as explained at
>    http://creativecommons.org/licenses/publicdomain
> </quote>
> The CC document [2] linked above includes the words "or Public Domain Certification".
> I think it would be helpful if [1] were updated to clarify whether the inclusion of  [2] "Creative Commons Copyright-Only Dedication" means that all works "released to the public domain" are covered, or only works that follow the example above and reference [2].
