<div style="border: 1px solid silver; border-radius: 3px; padding: 20px;">''This essay in a nutshell: Most of Wittgenstein’s works we are used to referring to by a book title were published posthumously, in some cases with little intervention by his literary executors, in some other cases after undergoing extensive editing. This poses a copyright problem, because the editor’s work might add a further “layer” of intellectual property protection. The Ludwig Wittgenstein Project is determined to treat copyright issues with the greatest care and will only publish texts that are in the public domain beyond a reasonable doubt. This article should be considered a Ludwig Wittgenstein Project policy statement as of {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}.
