Colin, others,
I came late into this (as usual). But Crown Copyright is
usually LESS restrictive than other forms. That has changed in recent years
- when I was a lad Crown Copyright lasted forever.
But now, in the UK, Crown Copyright lasts for 50 years from
the date of publication. National Archives (England) has a good deal of
information on other situations. It would appear that there is a right to
transcribe Crown Copyright material at any time, provided some simple
requirements are met.
I note that Australian Crown Copyright still persists for 70
years after publication. Dunno about other Commonwealth jurisdictions.
Best,
Ken
