Only thing I can find there is that the "years after authors death"
is the same without looking where the author lived. And it also says
that the USA has the same behaviour in this regard.

I doubt we will find useable software anytime soon where the
software is in the public domain because the author is many decades
dead, but I was speaking about people giving up their copyrights.
