Not just offer it for sale, but if you ever publish it. Once you've let something be part of the common culture, it belongs to the people.

What's the difference between offering it for sale and publishing something? That seems like an artificial distinction.

Plenty of things are widely published without charging money for them, and things are sometimes sold but privately to a limited audience (e.g. Kit Williams' artworks) which I wouldn't consider to be publication.
