Works published in 1963 would have had to renew their copyright in either 1990 or 1991, i.e. at least 27 years after they were first published/registered but not later than 31 December in the 28th year. As this work's copyright was not renewed, it entered the public domain on 1 January 1992.


The longest-living author of this work died in 2012, so this work is in the public domain in countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 11 years or less. This work may be in the public domain in countries and areas with longer native copyright terms that apply the rule of the shorter term to foreign works.

It is imperative that contributors search the renewal databases and ascertain that there is no evidence of a copyright renewal before using this license. Failure to do so will result in the deletion of the work as a copyright violation.
