I don't.  The author of the document wrote it in the US.  I made no claims 
regarding the copyright anywhere but in the US.

That may be the case, but I stand by what I wrote above.  I made no attempt to 
determine exactly how the US copyright would apply in other countries under 
the Berne Convention.
