OP’s company is based in the UK, so I was curious if the UK had stronger mechanisms for renouncing copyright. According to this source[1], they do not: “Under United Kingdom law, the availability of [copyright] abandonment is far from clear, and statements purporting to abandon copyright may be interpreted as mere revocable licenses.”
(I don’t mean to suggest that OP’s company is doing anything wrong. I assume they’re up to speed on the legal environment and are doing the right things to ensure their works are perpetually available. I just thought this was interesting).
