some obvious copyvios which I haven't figured out where the copying was from

of ship design textbooks, some of which I recognize, but I haven't figured
out which books yet. The same person contributed them all, and some other

There is nothing obvious about a copyvio when you can't identify its
source. You may have very strong suspicions about the matter, but that
does not establish the fact. I don't know what the standards are for
drawings in ship construction, but I'm sure that there are bound to be
some aspects that will be constant. Are these even copyrightable?
