Re: Quran Copyright

[Behdad Esfahbod]

Hi,

The Arabic text is not copyrighted in plain text, but any
annotated version is copyrighted, as well as any translation and
audio.  The rule is:  Everything is copyrighted unless proved
otherwise.

Quran Copyright

[S N]

Hello,
 
I am trying to find some information on copyright issues related to Quran text. I would appreciate any suggestion that might point me to the right direction. In developing a software containing the Quran text, what should I take into consideration in terms of what's subject to copyright laws? 
 
I don't think the Arabic text is copyrighted. What about any translations? How about audio (recitations)?
 
I see various Arabic Texts, translations, and recitations available on the Internet, but none of them seem to be copyrighed.
 
As I mentioned above, any help is greatly appreciated.
 
Regards,
