Hello List,
My last question re: copyright got some good feedback from the list, so I want to see if you all have any suggestions for my next query...
Let's say that I'm interested in creating an online index to Latin dictionaries. My index will include lemmata drawn from many different lexica, in print and out of print. Just the lemmata - not the dictionary entries. What are the copyright implications? Does a lemma in a dictionary count as "intellectual property"? Does reprinting the entire list of lemmata from a dictionary count as infringement?
Or do I really need to talk to a lawyer?
Thanks, Dot
