The original series was copyrighted 1947 by McGraw-Hill Book Company. The
agreement with the government was the copyright would later be lifted. I
know in 1964 the grey colored small size book series were printed by Boston
Technical Publishers, Inc. with no copyright.

There was a complete, scanned set on two CDs around also. The copyright
status is unknown though.
Have to check for sure, but they might be non-copyright. Were they funded
by the U.S.Govt, for instance?
(from one web page, which I recognize is not authoritative, "After the end
of World War II, the United States government continued to pay key people
who had worked at the Radiation Laboratory for six months to enable them
to write about their work.")
on the other hand, one would think that it would be readily findable on
the web if it were out of copyright. THere are links to sites which no
longer exist, so methinks it's in copyright and MIT is out assiduously
asking people to take down their copies when they find them. (they tend
to be at researchy kinds of places.. Jefferson Labs, UCSD, etc.)
The CDs themselves are almost certainly copyrighted..
