IANAL, but I thought the point of public domain was that the material was not copyrightable. Perhaps you're thinking of Patents? (From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_domain) "It is axiomatic that material in the public domain is not protected by copyright, even when incorporated into a copyrighted work."[5]" [5] ^ Nimmer, Melville B., and David Nimmer (1997).
