To quote Lawrence Rosen:
“... there is no mechanism for waiving a copyright that merely subsists,
and there is no accepted way to dedicate an original work of authorship
to the public domain before the copyright term for that work expires. A
license is the only recognized way to authorize others to undertake the
authors’ exclusive copyright rights.”
