Quoting Alexander Genaud <alexgenaud AT gmail.com>:

Hej Daniel,

Thanks for your response. I do not believe public domain and a
copyright to everyone are quite the same thing.

A copyright is an exclusive right. If a copyright was for everyone, it would be
universally inclusive, and so would not be a copyright.

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. In other words, I believe, no one individual can release
changes under closed terms if the recipient is also a copyright
holder.

Try CC-BY-SA. This allows anyone to use the copyrighted work and requires that
they respect this and re-release the work under the same terms.

- Rob.
