I apologize for the confusion here, this really should have been two threads, as two conversations are occurring simultaneously. I have permission in regards to NASB.
On the other hand, what started as a simple question about declaring PD sources ended up commanding the direction of the thread. I think I may be misunderstanding you though on your statement about copyright statements being inaccurate if not declared by the parties you named. Now I think you're saying that it's your *working assumption*, which I think to mean that it's a safe place to work from, and not that you mean that they are the only trustworthy authority on a copyright statement. Did I understand you correctly? Thanks for all the swift input, everyone. This has been rich.
