This page discusses variations in copyright law in different jurisdictions around the world, paying special attention to portions which may affect the applicability or scope of the GPL.
Today most countries in the world are members of the Berne Convention. This international treaty sets basic rules on copyright. Under this treaty, a copyright is granted automatically when a work is created. The treaty also states that copyright lasts for the duration of the author's life plus at least 50 years.
Countries are free to make additional rules, but those should not violate the Berne Convention's rules.
If there is additional information about a country's copyright laws, please create a page.
