Oakland elementary school students resist Caltrans' insistence on taking copyright to their mural

The freeway underpass is Caltran’s property, so i would imagine that they feel that any work done on them is their responsibility. Therefore making them “owner” of said work in their eyes.

Ownership of the mural itself isn’t the same thing as ownership of the copyright. It doesn’t impact Caltrans in any way if the elementary school runs a fundraiser selling T-shirts that include reproductions of the mural on them.
