Edgar Rice Burroughs died in 1950, so his works won't come out of
copyright until the year 2000; later, if the copyright laws are changed
before then. However, given the speed with which adventure games get
completed, it might be worth starting now on the assumption that by the
time you are finished, the works will be out of copyright!
