Has anyone dealt with Soviet military maps from a copyright perspective,
such as when reproducing maps or making map scans available online?  What
is your interpretation of copyright law regarding Soviet materials?
Although they didn't sign the Berne Convention, they became a signatory of
the Universal Copyright Convention in 1973.  This stuff is usually best
left to copyright lawyers, but in the meantime, are there any thoughts?
Thanks,
Tom
