− | === Comments on copyright laws by country ===
| + | ===Introducing invariant sections or cover texts in Centiare=== |
− | | + | Under Centiare's current copyright conditions, and with the current facilities of the MediaWiki software, it is only possible to include in Centiare external GFDL materials that contain invariant sections or cover texts, if all of the following apply, |
− | ====Russia: copyright exemptions ====
| |
− | According to the Russian copyright law of 1993 ([http://ru.wikisource.org/wiki/%D0%A4%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%B9_%D0%B7%D0%B0%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BD_%D0%BE%D1%82_9.07.1993_%E2%84%96_5351-1 Федеральный закон от 9.07.1993 № 5351-1]), the following items are not subject to copyrights:
| |
− | *Official documents (laws, court decisions, other texts of legislative, administrative or judicial character);
| |
− | *State symbols and tokens (flags, coats of arms, [[order (decoration)|order]]s, banknotes and other state symbols and tokens);
| |
− | *Folk creative works;
| |
− | *Reports about events and facts, of informative character.
| |
− | | |
− | Russian copyrights generally expire 70 years after the death of the author. Items by authors who died prior to 1953 are public domain – before 2004, the expiration term was 50 years, and this change of the term wasn't retroactive (see [http://www.copyrighter.ru/full/index.html?apispnew.htm Law 72-FZ, 2004 (in Russian)], article 2, part 3).
| |
− | | |
− | If an item was not published during author's life, its copyright expire 70 years after its first lawful publication (if the item wasn't moved into [[Public domain|PD]] before). This gives maximum term for unpublished or posthumously published works of 140 (if the author died after 1953) or 120 years (if the author died before 1953, AND their work was published before 2003).
| |
− | | |
− | If an item was published anonymously or pseudonymously, and its author remains unknown, its copyright expires 70 years after its first lawful publication. If the author is discovered, usual rule applies.
| |
− | | |
− | PD status of a work in Russia can differ with that in the US, where Centiare servers are located.
| |
− | | |
− | ====Algeria====
| |
− | | |
− | Article 9 of Algeria's [http://lexinter.net/DZ/ordonnance_relative_aux_droits_d%27auteur_et_aux_droits_voisins.htm Ordonnance N°97-10 du 27 Chaoual 1417 correspondant au 6 mars 1997 relative aux droits d'auteur et aux droits voisins.] states that: "Works of the State made licitly accessible to the public may be freely used for non-profit purposes, subject to respect for the integrity of the work and indication of its source. By "works of the State", in this article, are meant works produced and published by the various organs of the State, local communities, or public establishments of an administrative character." (original is in French.) In short, they are available for non-commercial use - which is deprecated on Wikipedia.
| |
− | | |
− | ====Afghanistan, Bhutan, Ethiopia, Iran, Iraq, Nepal, San Marino, Yemen====
| |
− | According to [http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ38a.html Circular 38a] of the U.S. Copyright Office, [[Afghanistan]], [[Bhutan]], [[Ethiopia]], [[Iran]], [[Iraq]], [[Nepal]], [[San Marino]], and possibly [[Yemen]] have no copyright relations whatsoever with the U.S. ([[Eritrea]] isn't mentioned at all.) Works originating in one of these countries thus are not copyrighted in the United States, regardless of the local copyright laws of these countries (see 17 USC § 104, quoted in the circular).
| |
− | | |
− | Regardless, according to [[Jimbo Wales]], Wikipedia contributors should respect the copyright law of these nations as best they can, the same as they do for other countries around the world.[http://mail.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2005-August/027373.html]

| Seen the stringent conditions above, it is very desirable to replace GFDL texts with invariant sections (or with cover texts) by original content without invariant sections (or cover texts) whenever possible. | | Seen the stringent conditions above, it is very desirable to replace GFDL texts with invariant sections (or with cover texts) by original content without invariant sections (or cover texts) whenever possible. |
