I have taken the liberty to include your compose rules in my WinCompose project, which is an opensource compose key for Windows. I’d like to know if you think your work qualifies for copyright; if it does, could you please choose a license for it? Otherwise, maybe you can clarify that it’s in the public domain, or not complex enough to be copyrighted? This would also make it easier to include it in Linux distributions. Thanks in advance!

It's worth noting not all jurisdictions allow explicitly waiving your right to copy; licensing under CC0 is more robust.

Yeah I guess but i think apache license would be much better
