Ok thats swiss, and it is not in general. But this clearly points out, that it might be copyrighted even if you just do orthographic changes.

I know what i'm talking of. If you dont trust me: you dont have to. I dont care.
Thanks. I wasn't doubting you, just interested. Would orthographic changes be so-called "kleine Münze"?


EDIT: I've checked the link, and the only section pertaining to changed orthography is - to my non-lawyer ears - as ambiguous as it gets. It only says that there might be copyright protection if the changes are big enough to give the new version "individuality." Do you have any examples where a reworking of orthography was granted copyright protection in a court of law?
