本作品在美国属于公有领域，因为其于1929至1977年（包括）间在美国出版，且没有著作权声明。更多详情，请参见共享资源:赫特图表以及公共艺术品“出版”的详细说明。请注意此作品在对美国作品不适用较短期限法则的管辖区可能仍然受版权保护（基于作者的逝世日期），例如加拿大（作者逝世后50年）、中国大陆（作者逝世后50年，不包括香港和澳门）、德国（作者逝世后70年）、墨西哥（作者逝世后100年）、瑞士（作者逝世后70年）及其他有本地条约的国家。 العربية ∙ беларуская (тарашкевіца) ∙ čeština ∙ Deutsch ∙ Ελληνικά ∙ English ∙ español ∙ français ∙ Bahasa Indonesia ∙ italiano ∙ 日本語 ∙ 한국어 ∙ македонски ∙ Nederlands ∙ português ∙ русский ∙ sicilianu ∙ slovenščina ∙ ไทย ∙ Tiếng Việt ∙ 中文（简体） ∙ 中文（繁體） ∙ +/−

The photo was published simultaneously in many newspapers with no copyright notice at all (neither for the photo in particular, nor for the newspaper as a whole). For example:

• The Miami Herald
• The Tampa Times
• The Tennessean
• Corvallis Gazette-Times
• Democrat and Chronicle (Rochester, NY)
• Messenger-Inquirer (Owensboro, KY)
• The Vancouver Sun
• The Burlington Free Press

Copyright was therefore forfeited per section 9 of the Copyright Act of 1909, which required that notice of copyright be affixed to every published copy.

No instances were found of the photo published with its own copyright notice, indicating that the photo was distributed to newspapers without a copyright notice, and there is no evidence of any requirement imposed on newspapers by the Associated Press to publish the photo with copyright notice.

In addition, approval was received from the photographer (ticket:2012050410010422) to publish this photo under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 license. However, the photo was produced while the photographer was an employee of the Associated Press, so the photo is presumably a work for hire. Any copyright would therefore be owned by the Associated Press, and it is not clear that the photographer would have the authority to release it under a free license. This issue is moot because the photo is in the public domain, as explained above.
