Since there are already quite a few in the archive ... I'd say that someone already did.

Also: Why should someone else do this for you? if this was something you were interested in, why not check with them yourself? Why do the "masters" have to check it for you?

Can the masters at DP and PG investigate whether books at ebooksgratuit
may be
harvested?? I know that arrangements have been made with gallica and Canadiana so that all of their product is automatically "pre cleared". Ebooksgratuit has etexts of almost all of Jules Verne books in French from original PD cources, but they do not show the title page in their texts as they have been ocr 'ed. Many of the books are obscure and they must have verified them before
I cannot clear a book from ebooksgratuit as I do not have the tp and verso of the original. Also I have no knowledge that saying it is from ebooksgratuit will pass the copyright censors. Yes some have already been done, many not. My experience has been that only "insiders" get the blanket copyright clearance. Of course I may be wrong, but as far as I know there is no way for me to get clearance. That is whi I posted the question in the first place of course. Juliet's post indicates that they must all be cleared. Obviously someone must have a connection with ebooksgratuit to obtain the tp and v of their books in order to clear them. The indication is that this has already been done; but which books are now clearable is not available.
