The original image is free, but the website can have a copyright for the scanned image... Yuval Y § Chat § 17:15, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that is not so. The website may have a copyright on their overall webpage arrangement, but simple scans of public domain 2-dimensional works cannot generate a new copyright. The original work is in the public domain; a non creative mechachanical copy of it remains in the public domain. Ask on Commons:Licensing if you want more feedback.
