Thanks for your response. I do not believe public domain and a
copyright to everyone are quite the same thing.
In practice they are, and "public domain" at least has precedent.
Agreed. However, while I can redistribute a public domain work under
my own copyright, I must retain the copyright of a work owned by
everyone.
That's only half-true, and doesn't apply to the case you proposed. If you and I are both equal copyright holders of a work, I am free to do what I want with it and I don't have to put your name down.
In other words, I believe, no one individual can release
changes under closed terms if the recipient is also a copyright
holder.
This is not true.
If you and I are both copyright holders over a work, and I make changes, I have the sole copyright over my changes. Period. I can give you expamples where this happens today (e.g. Sun's StarOffice, Codeweavers' CrossOverOffice, etc.)
If what you want is to ensure that changes remain open, you should use a license like the GPL or ShareAlike.
Cheers,
Daniel.
