in reply to (OT) Who can use freely available material?

The bottom line is you need to copyright your material.

Abigail is correct in pointing out legal guidance, but it is not a necessity for simply copyrighting your own material. Follow the instructions here and you should be all set.

U.S. Copyright Office

Specifically HOW TO SECURE A COPYRIGHT

If you are considering patents for a software process or anything related to your writings, then contact my <A HREF=http://www.invention.com/">patent attorney. From my past experience, patents are more complex and cost a lot of money for topics such as software, hardware, biotech, etc.

Good luck brother!
