[WikiEN-l] Re: Columbia and Copyright

[user_Jamesday]

No problem to use any works not in copyright any more,including pre-1923 Columbia and 1911 EB. Also no problem to notice how other encyclopedias commonly do things and create redirects for those alternatives to the way we do them. Their trademark doesn't let them keep those earlier works out of the public domain.

We can bypass Columbia's (possible) "stolen Bible names" claim by
finding a public-domain list of proper names in an old Bible
concordance.

Surely anything printed before 1900 or so has passed into the public
domain, and those old guys often did prodigious works of scholarship
without computers in those days...
