Copyright status?[edit]

What is the copyright status of the series? If Morison held the copyright, it won't expire until 2026. If the book is considered a work by a U.S. government employee, then it's always been in the public domain. Anyone know off-hand which is the case? 128.165.87.144 21:24, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Volume 5 is Copyright 1949 by Samuel Eliot Morison; I believe this is the case for the other volumes as well. MarkBernstein (talk) 16:02, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's correct. The excellent Hyperwar website states that 'the work is protected by copyright and may not be reproduced here' at [1] Nick-D (talk) 22:33, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
