That's correct. Once in public domain it cannot be copyrighted.
That's why Project Gutenberg for free ebooks out of copyright was
started.

I'm not clear on what this is about either. Skip, can you elaborate?

If I am not mistaken a "copyright" is a protection for the writer that
his work is sole his property for specific number of years thus in a
sense public domain doesn't enter into it. The copyright simply
expires so the work is no longer solely the property of the writer.

I don't think public domain allows copyrighting by somebody else, does it?
