On a related note:
I have heard that by US law there is no copyright on work done by employess of
public institutions (such as public universities). This may mean that everybody
can copy an article if at least one author works at such an institution.

Unfortunately I didn't find a source to verify (or falsify) this information.
Can anybody comment on this?
