Florian et. all. I understand better now - and I think you have it wrong. You are confusing copyright with creator right. They are not the same thing in fact though often implemented via some of the same laws. Creator right cannot be waived in any country - all it requires however is that the author be credited. Alice in Wonderland for example, is public domain, you can republish it, create a sequel etc. etc. but you cannot claim to have written it.
In the same way, this public domain work allows you to publish a modified version, you cannot claim to have written the original - and must credit the author of the original - the same way that a sequel to Alice in Wonderland would have to contain a notice that you are using characters from a book by Lewis Carol. Basically, you can publish - no problem, no risk - the author already gave you permission - just be sure to credit the original author. Ciao A.J. -- A.J.
