``Re: The Elements'' by Wkbj79 on 2007-06-06 03:21:19
Knowledge of copyright is not my strong point, so I am glad to have this information. I was not even familiar with the term "public domain", but I can tell what it means from context.

I think that it would be cool to add the actual Greek in certain entries (so long as it is kept short). For instance, in "rhomboid", I have a translation of what Euclid had to say about them, but not the actual text. Since the text is in the public domain, I guess I could add it if I wanted to. Maybe the only reason I think adding the Greek would be cool is due to some nerdy tendency that I have. :-)

Despite the fact that the text is public domain, I think that, for any entry that uses the Mourmouras web site, a citation should be provided, and possibly a link as well. Mr. Mourmouras certainly put forth an excellent effort and deserves as much credit as he can get for that site.
