[Foundation-l] Court: Congress can't put public domain back into copyright

[Dan Rosenthal]

The 10th circuit (or the US District Court for Colorado, which  
actually made the decision on remand from the 10th circuit) does not  
cover the ninth circuit either.

AFAICT Eldred v. Ashcroft remains the latest SCOTUS case on the matter.

If you read Larry Lessigs blog he talks about the decision as well.
