Alas, the required waiting period is even more than that. For individual authors, you have to wait until 70 years after the author's death. That could be 120 years from now, or more. And if the human life span is extended, it could be hundreds of years. If it is a work made for hire, you only have to wait 95 years in the US. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (gnu.org, fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
