If GA hired LN to produce an annotated code, then that means the annotations are owned by Georgia, which means they are public record and not therefore copyrightable.
- rimunroe 11y agoDocuments produced by or for a state or federal government are not automatically public record.
- cgtyoder 11y agoYes, you are right I should have said public documents to be more precise. "Public record" is different than "copyrightable" which is what the issue is about. Public documents, that is owned by the state aka the people, cannot be copyrighted. (edited)
