Aren't all (or almost all) copyrights from before 1940 expired at this point, under US Law? I thought there was a 76 year expiration on those older copyrights. --Greg On Fri, Jan 22, 2016 at 8:32 AM, David Haslam wrote: > If anyone in a suitable jurisdiction is

I can confirm that Jonathan's claim is false. See http://copyright.cornell.edu/resources/publicdomain.cfm http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ15a.pdf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries%27_copyright_lengths etc. We err on the side of

[sword-devel] Hosting non-US public domain modules

Hi, Some of my friends are working on proofreading few Indian language Bibles which are copyright expired in India - published before 1955 (more than 60 years). Can Crosswire host these modules in the main repository? What kind of proof will be required? Do we need complete scan available in

Re: [sword-devel] Hosting non-US public domain modules

My understanding is that the original publishing country is the lead - if something is published in India and it is now PD there then it should be PD everywhere else. But I am no lawyer. We are publishing Japanese modules from a similar time frame as they are now PD in Japan. Peter >

Re: [sword-devel] Hosting non-US public domain modules

What you say is in line with what I remember to be the case. But I haven't checked in a long time. There is also DMCA which criminalizes the act of circumventing an access control even for PD texts. This only means one has to be careful about how one obtains the PD texts. One of the

[sword-devel] Bad markup in VarApp 1.0/bug in Xiphos?

Hello, I'm using Xiphos 4.0.4 (Webkit/gtk3) with Sword 1.7.4, and have VarApp 1.0 (the NT Manuscript Variant Apparatus) installed. It consistently shows a sort of 'staircase' effect, as if a superscript were being applied but never closed. (See attached screenshot for an example.) I'm wondering if

Which of the repos in our Master List are located outside the USA ? Obviously IBT is, but who knows what the copyright rules are in Russia? Perhaps we need to ask someone to create and maintain a module repository on a "Third Party" server outside the USA and outside Russia/CIS? Would this meet

Re: [sword-devel] Hosting non-US public domain modules

It’s really complicated. It used to be a short time (IIRC 17 years). Then it was lengthened to lifetime. But the definition of lifetime is really complicated. It depends on who created the work (e.g. individual or group). And it may be defined in terms of the immediate heirs. Further
