Document background
The No Copyright Notice is a crucial document for creators and organizations in Indonesia who wish to make their work freely available to the public without copyright restrictions. This document becomes necessary when an author or creator wants to explicitly waive their copyright protection rights under Indonesian Law No. 28 of 2014 on Copyright. It serves as a formal declaration that the work can be freely used, modified, and distributed by anyone, for any purpose, without the need for permission or attribution. The document is particularly relevant in the context of open-source projects, educational materials, creative works, and public sector information where maximizing public access and utilization is desired. While Indonesian law automatically grants copyright protection to original works, this No Copyright Notice provides a clear legal mechanism for creators to voluntarily relinquish these rights and contribute their work to the public domain.
