IANAL, but copyright depends on situation. Different jurisdictions recognize
copyright in different ways. In the USA, the author of an original or
derivative work is usually afforded an automatic copyright, but works for
hire and other conditions can change that. Since TLDP exists in the
international Linux community, assuming that US copyright practice will
prevail may not be the best option.
