If, however, the printed text represents the (copyright-able) work product of the translators, then wouldn't you have to admit that the text is the word of them? === I can't be a Democrat because I like to spend the money I make. I can't be a Republican because I like to spend the money I make on drugs and whores.

Jacques Servan, 1767
