Right! I don't think there exists, in the human condition, such a thing as cut and
dried legislation. And, if you don't see court cases in all the verbiage attached to
that legislation by interests who see a mark, yen, buck or £ to be made, I guess I'm
just a cynic/sinik/cinique, whatever.

Guidance - Copyright in Public Records
What is meant by Waiver
5. For those Public Records which are subject to waiver, users may copy,
quote, index, transcribe, publish and broadcast the text of Crown Material
in all formats and media throughout the world without:
a.. payment of a fee or royalty; or
b.. requiring a specific licence or approval.
Which material is covered?
8. The waiver of Crown copyright in Public Records covers those Public
Records which:
a.. were unpublished at the point when they were deposited with the Public
Record Repository in question or which contain material that was unpublished
at the point it was deposited (see the definition of Publication at
paragraph 4);
b.. are open for public inspection.
