I am not a lawyer. I have studied the law and follow intellectual property law in particular as an involved citizen, and have strong opinions about it (as I do about everything else). Indeed, those opinions are a major reason for my involvement here. I often express those opinions here, as is my right under the first amendment. These opinions should not be construed as legal advice; you rely on my interpretations of the law at your own peril. If you want a definitive legal opinion, you should seek the advice of a licensed professional (most of whom will probably not know any more about the issue than I do, but who will have lobbied for laws protecting their monopoly and requiring me to post silly disclaimers like this).
Because I am skeptical of the value of intellectual property law in general and copyrights in particular, I explicitly place all creative works original to me in the public domain. If you see an article here that looks like it was primarily written by me and you wish to use it in a way not permitted by the GNU Free Documentation License, contact me. I may have a public domain version containing only my work which I will happily give you. I intend to put much of that on my personal Wiki (http://www.piclab.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl).

As many here know, various versions of the 1911 edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica are available and are in the public domain. http://www.1911encyclopedia.com/ is one such source. While this is a great resource, especially for history, it should be noted that much of the text is quite dated both in content and style, and reflects the academic culture of late-19th-century England. Good use can be made of it, however, by judicious editing. Below are a few example of what I think are good articles with content taken from that EB and updated:
Almond - Olive - Marsala - Great Pyramid of Giza
