Good point, and I wasn't trying to suggest that you could go and just make copies and re-distribute them! I believe most publishers enhance their facsimiles and manuscripts with some "clean up" to protect them under the various copyright laws. In the past, I spoke with a publisher about this who did say he didn't put the copyright notice on some of his facsimiles since he didn't do much that would be copyrightable. But, I'll bet he'd get pretty active with lawyers if folks started re-distributing his stuff. I'm sure he's done some cleanup that could be considered an enhancement. Thanks for the clarification.
