"Queens" is +replaced with "queen's", and "majesties" would +become "majesty's", "entred" becomes "entered" +and these typos were often in multiple places. + +"Vice-Chancellors" and "Vice Chancellors" both +appeared so I chose "Vice Chancellors" just to +make searches more simple. + +I have not changed any of the apparently quite +random capitalizations [random in comparisons, +I should say to German, etc.], nor changed any +of the more different spellings, as inhaunced. + +I would like to comment just how obvious it is +that the rights of the authors was an "add on" +to this document, taking place only on a sixth +sheet containing only two small paragraphs, as +this makes it even more obvious just how every +right was originally for "The Stationers," who +are now descended as by The World Intellectual +Property Organization through various means. + +This law was proposed and defeated 250 years-- +from its first draft by The Stationers just as +The Gutenberg Press got going to this period. + +All monarchs, and Oliver Cromwell, refused it, +on grounds it gave too much to The Stationers, +and left too little to the public, as per: + +Henry VI 1 Sep 1422 4 Mar 1461 +Edward IV 4 Mar 1461 9 Apr 1483 +[Henry VI - restored 9 Oct 1470 to c.

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: +http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + + +Section 5.

Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone.
