The original French is clearly in the public domain, but the translator, Katherine Woods died in 1968.

Oh, I did not find her date of death. Sadly, to be deleted. Yann 11:51, 24 May 2012 (EDT)

For Маленький принц and Письмо заложнику the translator Nora Gal died in 1991.

For the Spanish El Principito and the Interlingua Le Parve Prince the translators appear to still be alive. Eclecticology 05:18, 13 May 2012 (EDT)

I have a permission from the Spanish translator. Yann 11:51, 24 May 2012 (EDT)
I can trust your judgement on this, but in a few years this will be seen by someone who knows neither of us. Do we have any way of documenting these licences to satisfy those who deal with the problem in the future? Eclecticology 14:07, 25 May 2012 (EDT)

Der Kleine Prinz had two translators. Grete Leitgeb died in 2002 (age 99). This translation will not be in the public domain in Canada until 2053, 2073 in the European Union. Eclecticology 14:20, 13 May 2012 (EDT)

Here also, I could not find the date of death of this second translator. The first one died more than 50 years ago. Sadly, to be deleted. Yann 11:51, 24 May 2012 (EDT)

Является ли c=const доказанным? written by Мамедов, Джаббар Манаф оглы - I deleted the last page by your request, but probably here is no copyright violation if the author inteded to publish it here under FREE license. We need to discuss this with the user who placed this article. Dmitrismirnov 13:50, 15 May 2012 (EDT)
OK. Where do we stand on this? Eclecticology 22:56, 2 July 2012 (EDT)

-- Dmitrismirnov 06:24, 24 May 2012 (EDT)

    • Agreed. These can be deleted after adequate time for comments. Eclecticology 14:58, 24 May 2012 (EDT)

This are possible violations of translator's rights. -- Dmitrismirnov 06:24, 24 May 2012 (EDT)--

Translator Anatoly Yakobson (1935 — 1978)

A. S. Kline translations

Osip Mandelstam (1891 — 1938)

Only CC-BY-NC License. It would be reasonable to wait a bit with a deletion until possible solution will be found - a site where these could be placed... Dmitrismirnov 11:21, 27 May 2012 (EDT)

Absolutely. With anything nominated here I have no difficulty in waiting for a month before deleting. There are possibly alternative translations for Mendelstam which could be accepted here. Kline already has his own website for publishing his material. Eclecticology 18:33, 27 May 2012 (EDT)

This Vladimir Nabokov's translation of Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll was published in 1923 and probably violate his copyright. Could you check it please? In that case all Vladimir Nabokov's work need to be removed from Wikilivres. Dmitrismirnov 12:00, 2 July 2012 (EDT)

  • I agree. There is a remote possibility that it might be OK based on reading the Russian law of the time, but that could be a difficult argument. Eclecticology 15:19, 2 July 2012 (EDT)

Livejournal material

None of this has any indication of a licence, but source shows a recent copyright date.
