Re: NiMUD 5 Re-released Under AL/GPL

The US Copyright office does not review or approve copyright filings. They just handle the paperwork and file it for later reference. They do not verify the veracity of any claim for copyright. It is glorified document storage. It is worth doing (and is extremely easy, fast, and cheap), but it does not constitute ratification of copyright ownership by the US Government.

I could send in a copyright filing right now that said I owned the copyright to Harry Potter, and it would most likely be accepted and filed. But when I tried to enforce the copyright, I'd get owned.
