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?

    That is entirely up to the author who is creating the original work. They set the license and people can choose whether or not they want to work with the license. If i wanted to use someone else’s work for commercial purposes then i would just ignore any works released under a NC license. I’m not entitled to someone else’s work just because i need to eat

      Assholes choose not to copyleft. Assholes choose NC licensees too
