Actually there's such thing in the real world. Sometimes it's harder to make a given piece of work have no copyrights than to claim implicit copyrights, depending on the country's (and/or area's) laws.
E.g. here, and Quote:
...from GigaLaw® under a Fair Use premise (all copyrights owned by GigaLaw®):
(...)The way in which copyright protection is secured is frequently misunderstood. No publication or registration or other action in the Copyright Office is required to secure copyright. There are, however, certain definite advantages to registration.

Copyright is secured automatically when the work is created, and a work is "created" when it is fixed in a copy or phonorecord for the first time.(...)

@keihan,

THANK YOU! You just cleared up an area in which I had much confusion. Excellent suggestion too, BTW.

I am a professional 3D artist and just to shed light on the grey area here. I'll make it very clear. If I create something artistic, I do not need to include a license one way or another. It is protected by law from it's inception. If someone steals that, however, the burden of proof is upon me to prove that I am the creator of the original. If I place a copyright tag on it with date, this can be impled but not a guarantee that I am the original author. Creation dates in CG files help. The best way (outside of registering with your country's copyright office), however, is to generate a physical copy or photograph of your creation and mail it to yourself in a sealed envelope. The sealed envelop will have a date stamp from the postal service on it. Never open the envelop except if the need should arise in a court of law over a dispute of copyright ownership.

To make it clear, again, a work of art does not need to have any implicit license or copyright tag to be protected by law. It is always protected.

@Panos - I'd also like to stress that my replies were in no way arguing whether it is legal to use it, but it would be frowned upon very much by the official XOOPS peeps if you did spew out things with Xoopy on it.

Whether it is legal or not, I let other people agree on.

Hi,

Please "keep cool", I just wanted a XOOPS mascotte to put on some pages of my web site talking about some XOOPS codes I've made...



Bye,
Hervé
