Hi, I'm invited to a hearing by a governmental commission who works on possible alterations to the laws and regulations governing the copyright on public works in France. They want to know my opinions (and those of Wikimedia France) on the issue. I know about the copyright-free status of the works of the US federal government. I'm interested in the copyright status of the works of other governments worlwide, especially in the European Union. Please answer by private e-mail. Regards DM
