Every single edition of Britannica published BEFORE 1942 is public domain. All the others expire when they get their 70th anniversary of publication, which in the 2010 case will be 2080 (very close) ;) ;) _____ * *

Just curious to know the copyright status of Encyclopaedia Britannica. Those URLs say that the first one was published in 1768 !!!

And its 2010 edition will be the last in print

As we said, all articles from 1911 edition of Britannica is PD. _____ * *

I believe it already is in the public domain. Back go 2009, when I was looking up sources for Transport in India, there was a template stating that the article incorporated text from Encyclopedia Britanica, which is PD. Not to be confused with the CIA Factbook template.
