Yes, in the past there was a difference. When the download site was set up we were USA compliant, not life+70. The site owner is from Switzerland and began to be worried about his personal liability, so within the last year he has changed the license to be ok for his country. We do watch for takedown notices and will respond to legitimate notices, but there have been none recently. We do have some cc eBooks with the license in the book for non-commercial use. Over our history the licenses have been USA, life+50, and now life+70. These were accompanied with different server locations. Of course a downloader could be anywhere in the world so the downloader is responsible to download that which is legal in his/her country.
