Anything over 50 years old is NOT public domain! Please don't say things that could get people into steep legal trouble.
Copyright expires seventy-five years after the *death* of the creator, or ninety years after publication in the case of corporate-owned work. So the works of any author who died prior to 1926 are public domain, as is anything first published prior to 1911. But you can still get screwed on trademarks, which do not expire. As a matter of practicality, anything not in the public domain today will NEVER enter the public domain;Congress extends the term of copyright by twenty years every twenty years. _______________________________________________ Ogf-l mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.opengamingfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/ogf-l
