But almost all original ebooks I've prepared for the MobileRead library have typos, and I correct them. I also change spelling from time to time (ankle instead of ancle for example) and make hyphen usage etc conform to modern usage. Does that not count?
I have seen an edition of one of Charlotte Perkins Gilman's stories which has been edited - I don't remember the details - and the editor clearly claims copyright on her version. Perhaps I should make it more clear that I have made some changes to the text.
