  • it was created for certain US government agencies which release ALL their work to the public domain
  • it is so old that it never was copyrighted (e.g., Renaissance art
  • its copyright has expired and was not (or cannot be) renewed (in the US, that's works created befor 1910 or 1920 - ask if you're not sure)
