I'm hardly an authoritative source, but I recall a conversation
a few years ago with the Church's copyright department that said
essentially the same thing as the Wikisource quote about the
Book of Mormon: that the text was in the public domain, but the
1981 chapter headings, footnotes and other study aids were in
copyright.

That particular conversation never mentioned the D&C or the Pearl
of Great Price at all, though.

Off topic: You know you've been reading too many Unix-related
emails when you inadvertently type "Perl of Great Price", as I
just did a moment ago :)
