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.

I can't tell which bit you mean. But (google translate) "Missing their individual character, the creation enjoys no copyright protection, is in the public domain." (original "Fehlt ihr der individuelle Charakter, geniesst die Schöpfung keinen Urheberrechtsschutz und gehört in die Public Domain") seems pretty clear to me.
If you think there's a bit in there that protects mechanical changes (e.g. orthographic updates) to a text, please quote it.
Ah, found it. (google translate) "Whether editions already enjoy (with adapted spelling or the correction of clerical errors) copyright protection can not generally evaluate. It is based on the fact here that the revision as a whole is essential that the new edition belongs individuality."
If that it the bit you meant, I don't think it means what you think it means.
