As far as I'm aware any files expressly placed into the public domain by the rights holder is fair game for any kind of use. The only issue that might arise with some public domain works is where they enter public domain because copyright expires, but because the copyright won't expire globally at the same time and these works of art may not be suitable legally in some areas. However there is a large database of mp3 files that are licensed either as public domain or variations under the creative commons license that may be suitable for re-distribution as music on hold. As for the translations of voice menus etc, that would be a case by case issue with the rights holders and/or current licenses. > DCMA / EU law issues if used for personal private PBXs ? I doubt the EU/DMCA has anything to do with licensing files you own the copyright on. If you mean using files that you download yourself rather then from CallWeaver then that is a different matter altogether. -- Best regards, Duane http://www.freeauth.org - Enterprise Two Factor Authentication http://www.nodedb.com - Think globally, network locally http://www.sydneywireless.com - Telecommunications Freedom http://e164.org - Because e164.arpa is a tax on VoIP "In the long run the pessimist may be proved right, but the optimist has a better time on the trip." _______________________________________________ Callweaver-dev mailing list Callweaver-dev@callweaver.org http://lists.callweaver.org/mailman/listinfo/callweaver-dev
