Authorised - authorised by whom ? Who owns the rights to Wells work (and is it still in copyright ?) -- Beardo 18:22, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

The entry on The Time Machine says The Time Ships was "officially authorized by the Wells estate to mark the centenary of the original's publication". But yes, the original's out of copyright, and there are enough unauthorised sequels that I'd guess this was a nice gesture rather than a legal requirement. Daibhid C 15:16, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

The original is out of copyright in the USA. It is still in copyright in other parts of the world, including the UK. Marwood 16:24, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
