Talk:XX Bomber Command

Copyright problem?
I have reversed the version of the text to one before the alleged copyright violation took place: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=XX_Bomber_Command&diff=36221787&oldid=35513386

But is it an illegal copy right violation? The text in question seems to come from this web site: http://permanent.access.gpo.gov/lps51153/airforcehistory/usaaf/ww2/hittinghome/hittinghomepg5.htm Which is a US Government one. The home page http://permanent.access.gpo.gov/ which homes to this one http://www.gpoaccess.gov/index.html. I could not find a copyright notice but I think it is in the public domain.

The link at the bottom of the wikipedia article http://www.usaaf.net/ww2/hittinghome/hittinghomepg5.htm seems to be a commercial copy of the US Government site. --Philip Baird Shearer 21:15, 9 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Since the material seems to originate on the gpo.gov Web site, which doesn't claim copyright, I'd assume it is the work of a government employee and so in the public domain. (The usaaf.net site is not obviously government, which is why I copyvioed the first version.) ➥the Epopt 18:27, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
