---------------------------------------
+1 to replace
> Test file maugham.txt still copyrighted outside the US?
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CRUNCH-616
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CRUNCH-616
> Project: Crunch
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 0.14.0
> Reporter: Sean Owen
> Assignee: Josh Wills
> Priority: Minor
>
> A review of some licensing issues internally flagged one potential problem in
> Crunch: the maugham.txt file used for testing. This is "Of Human Bondage"
> published in 1915. Although it's evidently public domain in the US and
> distributed by Project Gutenberg, it's not clear it's out of copyright in the
> UK, where I presume it was (also) published. The UK copyright term is life
> plus 70 years and Somerset Maugham died in 1965.
> Does anyone happen to know anything more definitive about the status of this
> work? I kind of guess [~jwills] added it. If it's uncertain, would anyone
> object to me removing it, possibly replacing it with something obviously out
> of copyright everywhere?
