Seen on the pump:
 > Please, just ignore those bogus copyright claims. The painting is in 
the public domain and the digitization process is not 
creative.—Eloquence <http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Eloquence>

Does that mean that I can take a book out of the library on, say, 
Constable, and scan the reproductions of his paintings for wikipedia?

Could the copyright gurus pronounce on this please?
