I've been reading Spider for decades now. Nice catch.
It always seemed a bit odd to me that the story trumpeting the virtues of public domain was not itself, public domain. Had he practised what he preaches, he would likely have got his message a far bigger audience.
Okay, I should have followed the link before I commented, as I see it now is (sort of) public domain. But it certainly wasn't when I first read it some years ago.
