         <h3>Frequently Asked Questions</h3>
+        <p>Q: Why should the Worldwide Public Domain Dedication 
+        (WPDD) be used instead of CC0?<br>
+        A: The WPDD should be used because it addresses the issue of 
+        patents, which is a concern with CC0. CC0 was primarily 
+        designed for the scientific data community and explicitly 
+        excludes patents. This can be problematic for software, as 
+        it leave a potential cloud hanging over a program that a 
+        patent holder might show up later and begin to waive their 
+        patent hammer around. Since CC0 explicitly excludes patents, 
+        the concern would be that CC0 provides no coverage for them, 
+        not even an implied license. The WPDD, on the other hand, is 
+        designed first to waive any patents and then license them if 
+        waiving is not possible for some reason. This dual strategy 
+        makes WPDD a more comprehensive vehicle for waiving rights, 
+        including patents and ensures that the work can be used safely 
+        and effectively without raising patent issues. Additionally, 
+        the WPDD was developed with the consultation of patent 
+        attorneys in different countries, making it more robust in 
+        handling patent concerns in other countries.<p>
+        <p>Q: Who should use this?<br>
+        A: The intention is for it to be usable in any situation where 
+        CC0 might otherwise be used.</p> 
         <p>Q: Doesn't something overly permissive like MIT-0 or
         WTFPL accomplish the same thing?<br>
         A: Not really. Those are based in copyright and a person
