Standard life+70 (okey technically some slightly reduced moral rights under Provision 79(6)(b) but meh). Bits of it might be public domain (if you can argue that the individual articles and images constitute separate works) but most of it probably isn't (assuming they followed the standard model of getting a bunch of junior employes or academics to do most of the work). In the US it's PD if pre 1923. Otherwise 95 years after publication. -- geni _______________________________________________ Commons-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/commons-l
