Grandiose is completely mistaken, this work is completely out of copyright. Or, if you think this would be Egyptian copyright law, commons:Commons:Licensing#Egypt makes it clear that no copyright can be maintained here. I see no other mechanism of copyright appearing, since they went out of copyright in Switzerland in the 80s. If people aren't aware, commons:Commons:Licensing will instantly resolve most issues of this sort. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.132.168.94 (talk) 07:48, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry, I missed the specialised tag given as part of the PD-1996 template explaining the position. Less on the patronisation though, please. Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 09:36, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
