Actually the 1996 version IS COPYRIGHTED!! But this reffers to this particular BOOK! The 1848 text is not copyrighted.

Keith, that's only true in the EU, the individual members of which tend to have typographical copyright periods (it's 25 years in the UK, for example). In the USA, resetting the material doesn't get you a new copyright. As they have only claimed copyright over the introduction and notes, the main text is copyright free, and can legitimately be scanned and used to create a PG text. -- Jon Ingram
