PD status cleared... and now? [ANSWERED]

Post by **Leni** » April 25th, 2009, 8:09 pm

Hello all

As I mentioned in a post here some weeks ago, my daughter and I have been recording a book for LV, while at the same time we tried to get the PD clearance of the work. Finally today I got the OK message from Project Gutenberg attesting that the work is considered PD in the US.

So... and now?

I mean, for Librivox purposes, what should I do? Should I send the clearance key I got in the email to someone? Should I post it somewhere? This is what's on the email:

Title: Poesias Infantis
Author1: Olavo Bilac
Status: Cleared OK
Clearance OK key=20090419171533bilac

Any help is appreciated.

I guess you can hang on to that info for now. Since the book is PD, you can just go ahead and start the project in the launchpad, and put a note in the post that it's been cleared by PG.

I don't think there's any official notification method for that.

It would be great to get the book submitted to PG so that an online text is available in future... there are people here who can help with submission (I've never done it myself).

Thanks for the replies. I added the info in the thread.

I will have to scan the rest of the book, I suppose, to submit it. I'll do it, just not right now.

Thanks again.
