Works in the public domain can be freely used and anything you create using them can be submitted for publication. Just a mild reminder. You need to be sure that both the original work and its translation are in the public domain. For example, obviously, the Homeric Epics are in the the public domain. The most commonly used translation (by Larrimore) is not in the public domain. You also need to watch out for trademarks. Harper and Row holds the trademark on the name "Mark Twain." H&R charges $25.00 to use the trademark. And trademarking (or branding) can be a big deal. Ralph Lauren tried to trademark the word "polo." Thankfully, he lost. In theory, a title cannot be copyrighted. In (fsvo) real life, there is a growing body of case law that nullifies that theory (well, in common law countries, anyway.) Maeve

Thank you, Maeve. Trademarks and translations never entered my mind. If you come across any links that might be of interest on this matter, please feel free to share them. If the links go to any sites that break the ProBoards TOS, just make the link inactive. I don't see how ProBoard can object when a person has to manually copy and paste the url into the address bar to go to the site.
Thanks.
To make a link inactive add [noubbc] before the link, and [/noubbc] after the link:
[noubbc]http://whooshorg.proboards33.com/[/noubbc]
becomes inactive:
http://whooshorg.proboards33.com/
instead of active:
whooshorg.proboards33.com/

I'm guessing all these are public domain, but it wouldn't hurt to find out the dates on ones where you aren't sure of the publication date.
