I tend to think a classic is "public domain & still in print," but might prefer that to be understood as "would be public domain if copyright laws had stayed where they were when this was first published."
But I suspect it's not a problem--with the requirement for three nominations, and a vote after that, I don't expect HHG to get selected for the "classics" month, even if some people believe it qualifies. If it does, we can shrug and say, "mobileread readers think this is a classic."
