Probably, they will claim some kind of copyrights over the
digitalisation of the 1911 Encyclopedia.
Any such claim would be hot air: Feist v. Rural made it very
clear that only /creative expression/ is copyrightable.
It doesn't make one whit of difference whether they hire 20
editors to clean up the scans and build a fancy search engine
or anything else--only their /original creations/ can be
copyrighted; nothing they do to the 1911 text will ever give
them any right to restrict its use. It's OURS. Now and
forever. Amen.
