Mr. Dove,

If I may direct your attention to the Licensing page on the Project Gutenberg web site, http://www.gutenberg.org/license, it explains that the public domain books that we distribute are free of copyright and that anyone can do anything with them at any time and for any reason. You can use a short story to create a play, or a novel, or a screen play, or a movie, or… you get my drift.

The name “Project Gutenberg” is trademarked. If you wish to use our trademark, you must pay us a royalty for its use. Some of the works on our web site remain under copyright. If you look in the GUTINDEX.ALL catalog file (which lists all of the works we have available for download on the web site), these works are indicated by the letter “C” following the e-book number. The particular conditions for using these works are listed in the “small print” legalese that is part of each work as it is stored on the web site (typically, this information is at the front of the work or at the very back, depending on when the work was originally posted to the web site and what, if any, maintenance has occurred on the work since its original posting).

We are a small volunteer organization. Our entire payroll is two people, and they are not always paid. There is much information on our website (www.gutenberg.org). If you have specific questions, please do not hesitate to pass them along.

Subject: Re: Your Project Gutenberg CD/DVD request

It is my understanding that we can use the items from your website and CD/DVDs in "for profit" projects.  We are designing children's learning software and sell our items retail.  What would be involved in having us to this?  Please let us know.  Thank you.
