Hi Allen, > does software have a use by date where it becomes public domain. I think books do.
if they have been published before 1923. For more recent publications the international rules are 50-70 years after the author died, or 90-120 years after a company published it. For most of this software it would probably mean that they become public domain by the end of this century, assuming that copyright law doesn't change in the meantime. -- Christof _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
