(Oliver Pereira omp199@ecs.soton.ac.uk): Hello list,
This chap David Goldman has a website called copyrightexpired.com, where he has some old images that he has scanned. I'm forwarding our correspondence to the list, just to clutter it up and annoy everyone. *cough* I mean, because I'm not sure about copyright laws, and would like to get the opinions of people here just to make sure his pictures are all right to release under the GNU Free Documentation License.
If they are, as he claims, all published before 1922, then they are in the public domain.
