The goal is to have a cross-platform low level API that can be easily tested for compliance/conformance, right?

Sherlock Holmes is interesting - some new characters created by Doyle in the 1920s are not yet in the public domain and thus must be licensed from his estate if you want to use those characters.

Let's assume Lord of the Rings was out of term and then a bunch of shoddily made movies got made based on the story and didn't reap much. Would New Line Cinema have laid out the budget for Peter Jackson to make the quality LOTR film trilogy if they didn't have exclusive rights to produce the movies? Those films generated huge amounts of revenue - would we have missed out on that if the books were in the public domain, or would the same revenue have been produced by now with it in the public domain?

Looks like the consent decrees were terminated in 1995.

Is it just me or has the recent feed recently started showing things from friends of friends that my friends like and comment when it didn't before? Or is my memory faulty?

I counted the containers when it came into port, looked like it was stacked 7 high above deck for (2321+19)2*7 TEUs above deck, how much of the capacity is below the deck line and how many containers can they stack above deck? 9?

What if you allow basically the same ad but disallow mention of any brand names - only the generic name or condition to be treated?

Sloane kept his collection first on punched cards, then in a “handbook”—A Handbook of Integer Sequences, published in 1973, with the copyright held by Bell Telephone Laboratories, where he started working in 1968. In 1995 he launched an automated email lookup service called Superseeker, whereby the curious submitted sequence queries and the database replied with answers. In 1996 he opened up his repository for public browsing at oeis.org. With the lab’s blessing, Sloane put it up on the research division’s website.

You can also use a voltage divider if you are willing to suffer a bit of leakage current. That's just 2 resistors.
