Now that is a strange attitude in Project Gutenberg which is named after a person who lived in Mainz, which is now part of Germany and was at the time part of Europe. http://www.greatsite.com/timeline-english-bible-history/gutenberg.html Incidentally he died in 1468, and the Pilgrim fathers sailed from Plymouth, Devon, England, in the Mayflower on 16 September 1620, some 150 years after Gutenberg died.
