Don't (only) wait for them here. I would advise you to ask the people
distributing the work what they think the copyright status of the work
is.

Do they consider the work is subject to copyright? Do they consider
themselves the sole copyright holders? If not, what other specific
parties hold copyright in the work?

Do the distributors consider they can unilaterally decide to set
redistribution terms? What terms do they set?

And, importantly: What compelling reasons are presented for *everyone
else* to consider those answers sufficient?
