If I decide to self-publish a book what happens to the copyright? Is there a way to prevent others from claiming copyrights for a book published autonomously? Are there OS licenses specifically tuned for books?

      I’m fine with making people email me if they want to sell derivatives of a creative work tho

          copyright will eventually expire after your death

          and cc nc does not prevent derivatives, just profiting off of them without explicit permission, which is not that big of a deal
