It can be argued that the current copyright obfuscates the general public's access to the report.
How so?
I do feel that any single email from us would be promptly ignored as there probably is a large volume of emails. It may be prudent to either start a petition (for the Parliament) or ask a few MPs to raise the copyright issue in the Parliament.
Petitioning for what? The report is already under the CC-by compatible Open Government Licence 3.0
First of, the websites terms and conditions do not explicitly release the works under a free license.[1]
No, the report's licence is on the pages of the report itself.
Moreover it mentions BSkyB, BBC and ITN as copyright holders of some of the documents. Any migration to Wikisource must filter out such content.
Are your referring to inclusions in the report, or to other content on the inquiry website?
Lastly there are a number of now declassified documents that provide vital evidence to reinforce the reports findings, these too need to be freely licensed.
AIUI, they are (albeit with understandable redactions).
