Brainfuck programs no longer public domain

Several months ago, a note was inserted in the "My brainfuck programs" section in his brainfuck.org website: (Note: I'm licensing all of these under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License. Haven't got around to putting that into all the individual files.), which means that we will no longer be able to keep many of his programs on the wiki, including dbfi. --None1 02:13, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

As long as we took a copy of it while it was still public domain, the copy continues to be public domain – relicensing isn't retroactive. --ais523 12:33, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

That said, I am not convinced it was ever actually public domain in the first place – it may have originally been added to the wiki illegally. --ais523 12:42, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

Previously the programs have no license. So they're not explicitly public domain, aren't they? --None1 01:40, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

If there's no copyright notice, the program is copyrighted by default (and not public domain). --ais523 01:42, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
