I believe that the OED uses quotes from sources that are still in copyright. Also, the entire scientific practice of quoting short sentences from other people's work would fall apart if this was illegal. -- Arnt Richard Johansen http://arj.nvg.org/ I am often asked how radio works.

Now, radio is exactly the same, except that there is no cat. --Attributed to Albert Einstein
