Adam, I was trying to help you get the credit you deserve, by helping you avoid a fight for an untenable position. I will now leave you, however, since you are determined to pursue it.

TL;DR version: I'm attempting to find a compromise, by pointing to restorations where there was clear, obvious creative input, such as having to reconstruct large damaged areas using creativity and artistic skill, while being potentially willing to waive my rights on simpler restorations, if we can simply agree on some rough guidelines for when that threshold is crossed. Cary and David seem determined to refight my original position, telling me that even where I've reconstructed large sections without any model for how to do so, that, since I was trying to get my work to blend in with the original, there's no copyright. Isn't that kind of like saying that if I make an image in the style of Durer, and work it into an actual Durer engraving I don't get a copyright on my work because Durer died more than 100 years ago?
Well, I'll let others respond before continuing.
