I thought anything more than 100 years old became public domain - not the publisher's typeset score (which belongs to them), but the music itself. So anyone who cares to write out the Mozart concerto by hand, or on their music software, is free to do so. Isn't that why we have legal pdf sheet music download sites, and Project Gutenberg has free legal book downloads?
So for folk music, the music itself should be in the public domain, as long as it is >100 years old, so if you play by ear or from a personal transcription, there whould be no copyright infringement.
Correct me if I'm wrong...
