Copyleft is not public domain, and requires copyright law to function.
Ugh,time to open source everything then
Open sourcing something is granting permissive licenses on copyright works. Again, it's a concept built assuming that copyright exists.
What you mean is "abolish copyright", and that means nobody can exclusivly benefit from creating something, especially in a digital world. Not you, or I, or your favorite author, or song writer. Publishers can just sell works without recognizing the author.
The first part of your comment is such an “aktually” moment it hurts. Apply it elsewhere: “Free all the slaves implies slavery is still around, it’s a concept built assuming that slavery still exists. What you mean is “abolish slavery”.”
Everyone understood what they meant.
