I'm hoping someone here can help non a copyright issue.
I want to post a translation (probably on Wikiquote) of an article of just over a page that appeared in an illegal newspaper in 1943. There is no author given and the underground organization which published the newspaper disbanded in 1948. The article has substantial historical importance.
Can I do it legally? I can't see any explicit clauses in copyright legislation that would exclude illegal publications from copyright protection, but it is the sort of thing that might have come up in court cases.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
If you make the translation, thats no problem at all. The original author has no rights over translations.
