As part of a project to create a library of libre literary artifacts and narrative schemes, I’m choosing to waive my rights over little parts of my CC BY-SA writings. To me it makes no sense to claim rights on inventions that may be too common to be strictly mine. But I want to open my inventions as libre culture, or libre lore.

So inside the chapters of this novel I am writing, there are ideas of plots, names, objects, phenomena, specific stories of the characters, and I want these little parts of my work to be public domain, even though the whole writings will probably stay CC BY-SA.

For instance, I wrote about a memory enhancement sleep chamber.
Here is the form I created on Internet Archive :

Does it look OK to you, or are there confusing aspects ?

    I guess licensing the lore differently from the actual story makes sense if you are doing world building that spans multiple novels.

      Thanks for the input. I’m having a look. I see the default is CC0, can you link a page or article which is under another license so that I can see the differences in header ?

        I think ultimately most articles will be CC-BY-SA for their respective authors. Currently I have CC-BY-SA on profile pages as example. And I see a bug that the license property is not filled there. Here the issue showing an example of licensing metadata.
