If I decide to self-publish a book what happens to the copyright? Is there a way to prevent others from claiming copyrights for a book published autonomously? Are there OS licenses specifically tuned for books?

      And if you’re dead or incarcerated or otherwise uncontactable?

        copyright will eventually expire after your death

        and cc nc does not prevent derivatives, just profiting off of them without explicit permission, which is not that big of a deal

          It is a big deal! Its the difference between starving and not

              Making income from open licensing is the only ethical option, though.

                Not ethical

                • Creating a (gl with your book op I think it’s going be a gudden) shitty book in some shitty overpriced coffeeshop getting paid on patreon for peanuts
