the problem is to copyright something like 'internationalisation of pd' or 'unit testing in pd' which are really ( or should be ) common and shared concepts.
AFAIK, since 1978, it is *not* possible to *not* copyright a work. The best that can be done is to put a free license on it. The legal applicability of all software licenses depends on the validity of the copyright. This includes free licenses, which are designed to proclaim freedom in a way that the legal system understands.
None of the locales for pd bear any copyright notice, but it doesn't mean that they're not copyrighted by their respective authors. Those works are attributed to their authors.
