Re: [gutvol-d] Canadian and American copyrights

That's a good question. It brings up the issue of what kind of copyright clearance is appropriate or neccessary for texts heading into a PG of Canada collection.

Or any PG of [COUNTRY WITH LIFE+} collection, for that matter. The benefit, of course, is that once the death date of an author is conclusively determined, then, barring wrinkles like collaborators, translators, co-authors, illustrators, and posthumous publication, all of that author's works are, by definition, cleared.
