Talk:Sabatinca demissa

Copyright problems removed
I've remove the original description section, as the copyright has not yet expired. The text was published in 1923, and is under New Zealand Crown Copyright. It was published after Janurary 1st 1923, so is not in the Public Domain in the United States. It is used online with permission, and the statement of crown copyright is mentioned on that last page. NZ Crown Copyright expires 100 yrs after creation, and 1923+100= 2023 - so not yet I'm afraid :( Acather96 (talk) 12:02, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
 * The Transactions and Proceedings of the Royal Society of New Zealand 1868-1961 are hosted by the National Library of New Zealand site. If you access its content via the Papers Past part of the National Library of New Zealand site you will see that any content in the Transaction and Proceedings of New Zealand that is regarded as being within copyright is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence. See Philpott's article and the statement to the right of it. I recognise this may not have been the case in 2010 and hope this clarifies the issue. --Ambrosia10 (talk) 00:51, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
 * In further clarification and in hope of transparency the Transactions and Proceedings of New Zealand are not published by the Crown - it is published by the Royal Society of New Zealand, and therefore do not fall within Crown Copyright under New Zealand law. It is my understanding that this publication is in the public domain both in New Zealand (as it has been over 50 years since the authors death) as well as in the United States. The Biodiversity Heritage Library has adjudged it so for the purposes of US copyright before making this publication available on its website - see this. Should I be mistaken in this belief, and this article does remain in copyright in New Zealand, as the above statements points out reuse is licensed under a CC BY 4.0 license.
