David,

Thanks for the concise reply. This means that the1960's text will be OK if hosted in a country with life+70 copyright, such as Australia, since the original author is well dead. Is this correct?

I believe most life+70 countries give 70 years of copyright to anything first published after the author's death, or at least did. According to Wikipedia, the 1960's text would have got 50 years copyright, plus another 20 since it was under copyright when the extensions went through.
