Is public domain the same as copyright free?

No, public domain is not the same as copyright free. Public domain is a status in which a creative work is not protected by copyright. This means that the work can be used by the public without the permission of the original creator. Copyright free, on the other hand, refers to a work that is not subject to any copyright regulations, and may be used by anyone for any purpose. Examples of copyright free works include works that have expired copyright protection and works that have been released into the public domain by the original creator. In Delaware, copyright laws can be complex and it is important to understand the differences between public domain and copyright free works. Generally, works in the public domain can be used without permission from the creator. However, copyright free works may require permission from the creator before they can be used. To protect yourself from potential copyright infringement, it is best to consult a legal professional to find out which works require permission prior to using them.
