Thanks, I knew I had seen the statement concerning the copyright before. I
gave a set, missing only two volumes, to a museum out west. I still have one
or two volumes around her somewhere.
Thanks,

The copyright lapsing after 10 years statement is in the front of most of
the red version of the books.

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.
SO the burning question would be "where is that original agrement"..
(because MIT will probably not want to go digging through their files to
confirm or deny..)
It might well be that McGraw-Hill holds the copyright on that particular
printed form (i.e. pagination, etc.) but not the contents (e.g. Westlaw
can copyright their lawbooks, but not the underlying actual legal codes)
