I don't understand your statement. The question was whether it was
possible to put some of your work in the public domain. Public domain
to me means "Anyone can use it however they like". The law says that
there are certain rights to the work that I cannot sign away. Thus, I
cannot put it in the public domain. I *can* allow others to republish
the work without royalties, but there are certain rights I cannot give
them.
