No, it doesn't. For instance, all works from Shakespeare are in the Public Domain, yet you couldn't take Macbeth and claim you wrote it. “If it’s really public domain, then that means I can take a LibriVox recording and claim that I did the recording!”

If it's really public domain, then that means I can take a LibriVox recording and claim that I did the recording! No rights reserved? Including moral rights? I think for these purposes, something just a bit less restrictive or simpler than the BSD license would be better. Any work that is substantially made up of a LibriVox recording (beyond the usual fair use proviso) could be covered by this license. I’m just wondering.

We [LibriVox] don’t mind. Everything we do is in the public domain. Thanks for your concern. Welcome to LibriVox. Have fun!” This is the right attitude!! It does benefit everyone IMHO for the reasons mentioned, and it is why this is a place I'd like to volunteer <3 <3 “It’s okay. We [LibriVox] don’t mind. Everything we do is in the public domain.
