I mean, someone can write a fantasy novel with Napoleon in it (Temeraire series!), and it's not like Napoleon can sue. Code Name: STEAM isn't going to get in trouble for portraying Lincoln. But if the person is still alive... do you need permission?Samantha Lienhardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00050896759185927270noreply@blogger.com
