'Almost PD' was a licence popular in the mid-1990s for British public domain software. First introduced by [[Robot PD]], it was subsequently taken up by several more authors.

An 'Almost PD' program had no restrictions placed on individual copying or use, but the author's permission was required before it could be distributed by PD libraries.
