Ummmm...not sure. In most cases, probably. I suppose it's conceivable that texts are put in the public domain for reproduction, but not for re-editing, alteration etc. I'd have to ask an expert. Obviously, where copyright has expired, there's no issue - though copyright law may change over the next while, especially in the States, where the term of rights after the death of the author is under legal review (I think).
But actually, I wasn't looking at Guttenberg in particular, just at online texts in general. There's a perception sometimes that anything which has been published is therefore in the public domain. It ain't so... |
