Surely a set of words and their translations could not be considered to fall under the book's copyright? If I published a book that consisted of "book: shu1. cat: mao1. car: qi4che1", how could I reasonably claim copyright infringement if someone created three cards for those word/translation pairs? I don't own those words or the translation. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mnemosyne-proj-users" group.
