Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This is the front page of an order which appears as if it grants a hearing and the "writ of habeas corpus" to two chimpanzee petitioners Leo and Hercules. The order did not actually grant habeas corpus. Because of the media frenzy the order was amended with the phrase "habeas corpus" manually crossed out. This filing of this document was initially interpreted as granting chimpanzees a right to liberty and was reported all over the world.

Public domain
The depicted text is ineligible for copyright and therefore in the public domain because it is not a “literary work” or other protected type in sense of the local copyright law. Facts, data, and unoriginal information which is common property without sufficiently creative authorship in a general typeface or basic handwriting, and simple geometric shapes are not protected by copyright. This tag does not generally apply to all images of texts. Particular countries can have different legal definition of the “literary work” as the subject of copyright and different courts' interpretation practices. Some countries protect almost every written work, while other countries protect distinctively artistic or scientific texts and databases only. Extent of creativeness, function and length of the text can be relevant. The copyright protection can be limited to the literary form – the included information itself can be excluded from protection.
