[Foundation-l] Copyright of Vatican stuff

Babelfish says:

Any text that has for author the Pope or a whichever ministry of the
Sede Saint of hour in then e' protect from the copyright. No publishing
house potra' piu' to publish the text of a enciclica and a papal speech
without previo contracted to payment with the Publishing Bookcase
Vatican (Lev). To establish it e' a decree signed slid 31 May from the
Secretary of State Vatican, cardinal Sodano Angel.

What is a publishing house under Vatican law? Does this apply to
for-profit only?  Online works too?

Fascinating that his Holiness would lock up IP rights in the first year
of his Papacy.  Ugh.

Sorry, the copyright will be applied only to NEW Vatican's documents.

Please, read this:

it's in italian but it's the more importante italian information bureau.

If someone need to bring out Vatican's documents he must contact the
Libreria Editrice Vaticana.
