uncopyrightable

Lacking legal protection

Uncopyrightable describes works or materials that cannot be protected by copyright law.

Facts, ideas, government documents, and works in the public domain are uncopyrightable: Recipe ingredients are uncopyrightable, though the instructions may not be.

The word is also notable as one of the longest English words using each letter only once.
