Maybe you are talking about a different lock box?<p>JSTOR doesn&#x27;t claim that its documents are public-domain:<p><pre><code>    Our licenses from publishers are non-exclusive, meaning that the publishers are free to license their content to others to digitize or make it available in any way they might wish. [0]
</code></pre>
Not only were many of the papers in JSTOR funded by the public, but JSTOR itself claims to be funded through by the public through universities:<p><pre><code>    We do this with funds provided by thousands of libraries and institutions, all of whom are our partners in disseminating access around the globe.
