Oh, wow, Tom Lehrer has released all of his songs into the public domain. Apparently also his website will shut down "at some date in the not too distant future" so now's a good time to download directly.

"In short, I no longer retain any rights to any of my songs.
So help yourselves, and don’t send me any money."

@borko I mean, he's 94 years old. I wouldn't be surprised if he were cleaning up matters of his estate.

@therotund @borko I think this is the most likely reason and it actually makes me very sad.

I don't know, living to your mid-90s, knowing just what you want the faculties to accomplish it, then going out on your terms. It feels pretty inspiring to me.
