Legal defintions of public domain, etc

Hello Andrew,

Permission is not the issue; Attribution is the issue- Proper attribution.
To avoid plagiarism, one may copy a public domain work, but proper attribution must be given.
You are focusing on copyright and permission for public domain material, but that is not the point in question; proper attribution is.

I am free to use Lamsa's 1933 Bible translation, which is now posted on the internet, free to download, all 66 books, as I recall. However, I am not free to publish it in my name without giving proper attribution to Lamsa as the author.

Surely, you see the unethical nature of that, do you not?
