  There's a clear contradiction between that site and
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=6225

  The former says:

 "Nothing modern is in the public domain anymore unless the owner
explicitly puts it in the public domain"

  The latter says:

  "There is nothing that permits the dumping of copyrighted works          
into the public domain"

  (That is, there exists no legal mechanism by which you can get rid
of the copyright of a work: Someone will always own it, no matter what
they say, until it expires.)
