We’ve definitely been considering pgdp.net (see discussions on the mailing list). However for the time being given that the whole piece is only 30 pages we thought it better just to ‘put it in a wiki’ and do it on a volunteer basis rather than have to go through the pgdp.net process. However as I said we’ve been considering pgdp and may submit there.

In the case of scans again the scanner gets a copyright in the scan. If you then transcribe the text the scanner doesn’t have any copyright over your transcription.

Here we were looking not just to get the text for a first folio but an image of a first folio text that could be used for decorative purposes.
