Digital BW, The Print

There is a company in New Mexico or Arizona (can't find link right  
now) that is printing these and many more from the Library's  
collection and selling them, framed or unframed. They must have made  
a deal with them, I would think you or I could NOT do the same even  
though the images are in "public domain". Any thoughts on that? There  
must be some fine print somewhere.
