Copyright duration varies by country. Most public-domain claims in this repository rest on the life-plus-70-years rule used in the EU, UK, and most Latin American countries, plus the pre-1929 rule for U.S. publications. Translations entered the public domain on different dates in different jurisdictions.
If you redistribute this data in a jurisdiction with stricter rules (notably Mexico at life-plus-100, or Yemen / specific carve-outs), verify each version’s status locally.
