Hi, just in case you didn't notice my reply on Talk:Main Page, I've copied it here.

Can editions in latin from the Latin library be placed, into Wikisource? (they are all in the public domain) And can these editions be adapted to current editions, without violating copyright (e.g. M. Lepidum instead of M'. Lepidum?; see my Dutch translation of the Ann. I 13.2..)

If they are PD texts, then there is no problem adding them here on Wikisource. I'm not sure about what you mean by "adapted to current editions, without violating copyright". Could you clarify? Zhaladshar 19:31, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

My question is, if I would change something in the PD-texts (e.g. M. (Marcus) in stead of M'. (Manius), which is now generally accepted as correction of the edition) would this violate the copyright of the authors who proposed this correction (in this case R. Syme)? Because I have mention in my dutch translation of the Annales references to some works that helped me with my translation. It would be handy if the PD-texts can be "updated" to the modern interpretation of the text.--Evil berry

If this correction is generally accepted I think this change cannot violate any copyright. Marc 15:23, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

Great! I made some changes in the edition of Ab excessu divi Augusti (Annales):Liber IEvil berry
