Copyright concern edit

It does not appear to me that the text taken from http://www.ind.nl/en/inbedrijf/overdeind/veelgesteldevragen/About_the_IND.asp is copyrighted. According to http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:PD-NL-Gov, "[in] principle all works communicated to the public by or on behalf of the public authorities (government) are not copyright protected in the Netherlands, unless the copyright has been reserved explicitly, either in a general manner by law, decree or ordinance, or in a specific case by a notice on the work itself or at the communication to the public." I see no notice reserving copyright, though there may be laws, decrees, or ordinaces I don't know about. For now, I'm removing the CorenSearchBot tag.—C45207 | Talk 07:20, 19 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
