Comment Copyright notice USA specific (Score 1) 998
The fact that it can be freely copied isn't going to 'save' Linux. Looking on the title page to my copy of 'J.V. Stalin- Works Volume 7, 1925' I don't see a copyright there either. Just 'Foreign Languages Publishing House, Moscow, 1954'. No copyright.
It doesn't matter that there isn't a copyright notice. The requirement of copyright notice is specific to USA before 1980 or something. If the work comes from another country their rules apply to you because of international conventions.
Except if Soviet Union had the same unusual condition for copyright protection, which I don't know.
