I've been researching what is necessary to transfer the
copyright of the D logo to Digital Mars, which is complicated
by international issues.
It seems that the term "copyright" is often aliased to the
German "Deutsches Urheberrecht" which is what we call the
"moral rights of the author" in the UK.
This is something very different from copyright as it is
inalienable from the originating creator and not something that
can be transferred other that by inheritance.
This makes me wonder if previous attempts to negotiate a new
copyright for the logo have gone unanswered because the
terminology used has lost something in translation.
Do any of our native German D users know what the right
terminology for the international concept of "copyright" is?
European copyright law is something that is currently being
debated for unification and there is no actual legislation in
place so any negotiations regarding the logo have to be
conducted based on the common ground between German and U.S.
laws.

Does it make a difference a. where the author lives and b. where
the logo is hosted?
