Yes, that is my understanding of the situation. As an author myself, I have
a vested interest in copyright laws, although I don't worry too much about
people copying my Dharma-related material if it is for non-commercial
purposes. The relevent section of the Japanese Pali Dic actually forms
under 2% of the whole work, so I feel reasonably certain that there is no
problem.
Also, I am not sure whether copyright can be applied retrospectively -- this
Pali Dic was originally published in 1968, before, I believe, Japan had
implemented copyright laws.

OK, I have scanned these pages as double spreads, which should be legible
but will save space. Now I'll try to upload them -- but as I have not done
this before on Yahoo, I might need some advice.
