I don't like this song very much. I like the subject matter, but it's way to flag-wavy and pompous. Like something that the French would make.

This newspaper is not just a wartime entity. This should be mentioned. It is published in Europe and Pacific editions and still exists today. It's the main newspaper on the different installations. Mike H 03:04, Oct 7, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright Status

What is the copyright status for media and images from Stars and Stripes? The official disclaimer states[1]:

"Stories and photos by Stars and Stripes staffers are copyrighted, and may not be reprinted or used without permission."

This is the disclaimer for reprinting the articles. However, I was under the impression that the newspaper was Department-of-Defense funded, and therefore a Work_of_the_United_States_Government. So, should this template (below) apply?

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it is a work of the United States Federal Government under the terms of 17 U.S.C. § 105. See Copyright. Note: This only applies to works of the Federal Government and not to the work of any individual US state, territory, commonwealth, county, subdivision, or municipality.

The copyright notice is here; it makes it pretty clear that the contents are fully copyrighted and not in the public domain. —Angr 20:35, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. It seems that the newspaper is "authorized" by the DoD, but it doesn't qualitfy as "work of the government." I've erred on the side of caution thus far, so I don't think I need to hunt down any articles or images... Nimur 15:44, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
