Copyrighted texts in PG catalog

What does the catalog system check for to see if a text is copyrighted? For instance, http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/16697, is copyrighted, and shows up as such in each file, but the catalog page shows that it is NOT copyrighted. Is this something I make have done wrong (or David did wrong in posting) or is it a problem with the catalog system? Thanks, Josh

That is a good question. Well, I have one guess. When I look at the copyrighted PG texts posted in 2005, it looks like they all have these two lines in the header: ** This is a COPYRIGHTED Project Gutenberg eBook, Details Below ** ** Please follow the copyright guidelines in this file. ** In the text in question, I found this: This is a _copyrighted_ Project Gutenberg eBook, details below. Please follow the copyright guidelines in this file. I would guess that it is something to do with the particular formatting with the **'s I've marked PG#16697 as copyrighted and generated a new page for it. How many others might be like this...?
