    Posted: 05 November 2007 at 11:55am

Hello.. I live in Indonesia, and the other day saw the FSI course for Indonesian at the local library here.  Now, I am willing to scan it and post if for all, but how do I verify that it is indeed the version for public domain?  And does anyone have the cassettes?  Let me know, I'm leaving indonesia soon.

Terima Kasih!! (thanks)

Hey,

Is there a copyright posted in the book? Look at the page behind the title page. In the amharic course, the usual copyright page only has the the title again and author.

If there is no copyright, then it is fine. Anyone else have anything to add?

FSI Indonesian seems to be very rare.  I this is partly because the US govt agency that provides offprints of public domain material doesn't have FSI Indonesian in its catalogue.  Perhaps this is because the course itself is rather old, which may mean the recorded materials were never transferred from open reel to cassette tape, & so are very likely lost.

Having said that, if there's no copyright issue with the copy you have (& GDFellows concurs) please do scan it - once the material's out there on the internet, there's a good chance someone will be able to get Indonesian friends to rerecord the drills and dialogs.
