Sadly, in the US, at least, and so that file, absent sweeping changes
in the law, will remain outside the public domain until slightly after
the first human-crewed starship departs our solar system.

If you want things to go back into the public domain after a limited
period of time, make sure you hold your legislators to account,
especially when Disney is lobbying them.
