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?
