OT: Win 3.11, 95/98

I heard rumors that Windows 3.11 etc. are now "public domain". Not
sure if that applies to the US, or to other countries. Can anyone
confirm/refute this rumor? If true, would Windows 95/98 follow the
same "public domain" path?
It seems strange that this would be possible, since I thought
copyrights last at least 70 years.
Or does "public domain" in this sense simply mean Microsoft won't
bother you with their attorneys if you use, er, unregistered copies of
the [legacy] software?
