"Public Domain" (British English, especially Government and in the Courts): Information known by the public, could be under any kind of copyright "Public Domain" (US English): Information available for unrestricted reuse. So you could say "The contents of all the Harry Potter books are in the Public Domain" and in the UK that just means the general public knows what's in the books, rather than anyone having permission to upload them to Project Gutenberg :-) Cheers, Andy _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
