Public domain?

edit

The article says the album "will be entirely in the public domain" (which should be "is" now that it's out), but is it really true? If a band says "This album is FREE. Free as in, free. Free to download and if you wish, free to make copies. Make tapes, make CD’s, make records." is that enough lawful evidence for public domain? Law stuff is very complicated and the statement of the band doesn't even mention derivative work. So it's actually closer to the Creative Commons license attribution, no derivatives. But the license/legal code of that license is very long, so is a statement like that from the band really enough? Or could they retract that later? And what exactly are the terms? Even if these questions can't be answered this text shouldn't just assume public domain.

On the [Bandcamp release page](https://kinggizzard.bandcamp.com/album/polygondwanaland), the tracks are listed under a CC BY-ND3 license--meaning some copyright protections are reserved. This places the album outside of the public domain.
