I haven't thought about the Berne convention as you and Paul
mentioned...
Here in Brazil they are also copyrighted by default and belong to the
author of the document.
If we put a note saying that authors who submit their work without any
notice on copyright will have the document under some specific license
is it OK? (It becomes valid to new documents only, old ones would
require that we contact the authors and ask about changing this)
Something like: "If you don't specify anything, your document will be
automatically put under XYZ license when processed and published at
LDP. Please, if you don't agree with that license, specifies your
document license as required by the license itself."
Am I talking something silly? (I really don't understand what we can
do in this area...)
