David Rothman, our friend over at
TeleRead, is quite the detective. He has done a little searching and has come up with quite a few
good questions surrounding the World eBook Library and Gutenberg. He "outlined the qustions that continue to arise from Michael Hart’s personal ownership of the Project Gutenberg trademark. Just what happens when Michael dies? Who inherits the trademark? Just what deals might he already have made?"
And in a
follow-up he discusses further questions raised by some of the revenues/salaries that seem to be associated with the World eBook Library.
Be sure to keep an eye on
