Are you saying that Calibre isn't copyrighted? As I understand it, copyright is automatic, i.e. it's a right, not something that you apply for or are granted. But, I haven't looked-possibly the author explicitly surrendered his copyright. (Note: Making something free or even open-source doesn't remove the copyright. When you remove the copyright from something that means you remove all control over it. If somebody wants to sell it, you can't prevent that-so very little 'public' software is free of copyright. The authors generally want enough control to prevent somebody taking it & selling it as their own.)
