I like surfing in the public domain to find any great thing worth using and archiving.

Do you know of anything that is in the public domain and is very valuable or worth archiving?

      Strictly speaking, I believe that it’s Creative Commons rather than public domain. Pretty similar, but IIRC it addresses some differences in European law.

        Also, I would describe it more as “taken for granted” than “underrated.”

        I can’t speak to public domain or not but it is available for download. If Wikipedia had a problem with it being downloaded, I’m sure they would be asking Google to remove the Kiwix app from Google Play.

            I can’t speak to public domain…

            Commenter admits that it isn’t public domain. So Wikipedia isn’t a great suggestion for this answer, although I would argue that it is indeed “very valuable or worth archiving”

            Wikipedia is under the Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike License which again, isn’t public domain. However it is a largely permissible license which allows people to do close to whatever they’d like with the material - which some people might find similarity with the public domain if they don’t know how the licensing works.
