I took a quick look at a couple dozen shots, more or less at random, and they looked to be either FSA shots or names I recognized as LIFE staffers. FSA shots have always been public domain; many of them are freely downloadable from the Library of Congress website and can be ordered as prints.(LIFE ran an awful lot of those shots...) LIFE staff shots are almost certainly made by employees either before or under work-for-hire rules. I suspect that any infringements are accidental and probably not numerous... though it would be worth checking, just in case, if someone had the time. I don't. -- R.
