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?

      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
