Portal:Speeches/Copyright

There have been a number of discussions on the acceptability of hosting public speeches made since 1929 in view of copyright issues. The result of these decisions was that we are able to host such speeches only when they are political speeches by a political figure, as we take the view these are not protected by copyright. Our discussions can be read at Wikisource:Scriptorium/Archives/2006-03#Fair use & Speeches & Wikisource:Scriptorium/Archives/2006-05#Fair use and speeches.
