Since I have not been participating in this thread, I'm not sure to what you mean to refer. Your previous argument in this thread was with Ray Saintonge, not with me.
Fantastic! ... and I thought I was arguing with Jean-Baptiste Soufron. I suppose if I worked hard at it I could make a distinction between "explicitly" and "specifically", but the former may indeed be a superior choice.
The question that set us off in this direction was whether someone had the right to put his work into the public domain. I maintain that he does. To put this in terms of the distinction between "malum prohibitum" and "malum in se" is absurd in the absence of a "malum" of any kind in such an act. Is Stirling proposing that someone should be fined for putting his writings in the public domain?
