[OSM-talk] Copyright of old (Irish) maps

On a related note, does anyone know if there's any copyright issues with
buying a map, scanning the map, selling the map on. Would the
copyright on the scan transfer to the new owner?

I guess a similar analogy might be with museums and postcards of works
they've sold on.

This question has a real impact on whether I can freely provide scans
I've made under liberal (think "not for profit") licences, something
I'm planning on doing in the near future.
