How is it that the OCLC can enforce such a claim when the DDS was first written in 1870 (according to their website)? Shouldn't it be out of copyright and therefore open for anyone to use?

Drawbacks: Intellectual rights claims may limit usage. (OCLC claims rights to use this system and licences it out to libraries.)
