;-) Are there any jurisdictions where a religious texts have been refused a copyright for reason of being divine? There are a few legal cases about copyright of religious texts where the copyright has been given to the 'medium' / 'channeler'. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_on_religious_works And there is the crown hold copyright on KJV, in perpetuity. -- John Vandenberg _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
