The same as any other copyright. It depends on the country, but in general the
answer is "very long". In the USA, recently copyrights have been extended
repeatedly, in what has been referred to as the "Mickey Mouse Protection Act".
(It's called that because it was crafted to ensure that no Disney movie
copyright will expire.)
