I've got one more question on our Lindisfarne Gospels image. Since it would almost certainly be "protected" under British law I wonder if the [[Berne Convention]] would require the United States to uphold this protection.
Does anyone know?
Regards, Haukur
P.S. For those new to the discussion the image in question is:
Image:LindisfarneFol27rIncipitMatt.jpg
It is a featured picture on Wikipedia.
The image is derived from a picture from the British Library website. The BL claims copyright on it and Andrew Gray has established that the claim would probably hold up in a British court.
