Project Gutenberg License
The Project Gutenberg License (PGL) applies to ebooks and other works that use or contain the Project Gutenberg trademark. The PGL is non-derivative and therefore such works are prohibited as described above. A public domain work published as a Project Gutenberg ebook cannot be hosted as such, but if the PGL and all other mention of Project Gutenberg are removed then the PGL no longer applies and the public domain work may be hosted here.
