Licensing

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was first published outside the United States (and not published in the U.S. within 30 days) and it was first published before 1978 without complying with U.S. copyright formalities or after 1978 without copyright notice and it was in the public domain in its home country on the URAA date (January 1, 1996 for most countries).

For background information, see the explanations on Non-U.S. copyrights.
Note: This tag should not be used for sound recordings.

This work was first published in South Africa and is now in the public domain because its copyright protection has expired by virtue of the Copyright Act of 1978, amended 2002. The work meets one of the following criteria:

It is an anonymous work or pseudonymous work and 50 years have passed since the date of its publication.
It is a broadcast or sound recording and 50 years have passed since the year the programme was published.
It is a cinematographic or photographic work and 50 years have passed since the date of its publication (or creation, whichever date is the latest).

It is another kind of work, and 50 years have passed since the year of death of the author (or last-surviving author).

A South African work that is in the public domain in South Africa according to this rule is in the public domain in the U.S. only if it was in the public domain in South Africa in 1996, e.g. if it was published before 1946 and no copyright was registered in the U.S. (This is the effect of 17 USC 104A with its critical date of January 1, 1996.)
