@@ -375,6 +375,7 @@ BIP 1 allowed the Open Publication License or releasing into the public domain;
* The OPL is generally regarded as obsolete, and not a license suitable for new publications.
* Many are unfamiliar with the OPL terms, and may just prefer to use the public domain rather than license under uncertain terms.
