The term 'Rosetta' was not invented by SC, not unless he was in Egypt with
Napoleon's armies. If he wasn't- and I suspect he was not, despite behavior
that is reminiscent of senility- he was not one of those who translated the
Rosetta Stone. The idea of translating one language into another while
providing a symbol key is not copyrightable- that's public domain, and has
been done for languages as diverse as ancient Egyptian and Mayan. The only
thing that could be copyrighted would be the actual translation and
definition text, and the title of the page. Nobody can keep anyone from
using the concept of making a translation.
