I asked them once about the copyright: as far as I remember the answer was that there is no copyright on the old ones. But something like a "Leistungsschutzrecht" (ancillary copyright?). You can buy the scanned old maps from swisstopo but you are not allowed to redestribute them. But if you have the old paper maps and scan them yourself, you are free to do whatever you want.
