Sorry if I'm in the wrong list in this matter, but I'm just too lazy  
to subscribe to the Wikisource list just for the sake of one  
message.  Anyways, I want to add the Handbook of Mathematical  
Functions (or a wikified version therein) by Abramowitz and Stegun in  
Wikisource, but I am not too sure whether legal issues would preclude  
its inclusion.

According to [[w:Abramowitz and Stegun]], it is not protected by  
copyright, as it is a product of American government employees acting  
in official capacity, but it has been commercially reproduced.  Free  
copies of the handbook are available online, according to its  
external links version.

Advice on the matter is greatly appreciated.
