Well you're probably not going to like this but I cannot understand the mentality that thinks that just because an image is in the Public Domain they have a right to demand someone's digital representation of that image. Its absolutely crazy and I await the demand for the divvying up of William Blake's copper plates, C19 lithographic plates, and Daguerreotypes. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
