It may have a copyright
notice on it, but how much of the material in the document is original and therefore protectable by copyright? Usually they include some essays, photos, artwork or whatever that are copyrightable, and details of layout of the rules are copyrightable, but
the text of the rules themselves, because they're 90+% cribbed from OBR, and because they're instructions that can be said only so many ways, are not copyrightable. So if someone were to take out everything but the text of the rules -- which is what everybody's interested in -- and distribute that, they could never lose a copyright infringement judgment.
