It's already been long enough that I've forgotten the issue... all I know is 
that the King James Version of the Bible was among the earliest works 
released by Project Gutenberg--in 1989. (In 2004 they released an English 
version of the Douay-Rheims).

I have to believe that Project Gutenberg knows is or is not in the public 
domain, that after sixteen years the odds are that the British Crown knows 
that Project Gutenberg is doing it, and if they haven't complained there is 
probably a good reason.
