Is it worth clarifying the position with his family ?


Can't see why, by the willful act of publishing the work in a public place
presumably without any specific note from Andy about copyright the work is
in the public domain.


Not at all. Copyright exists when you create something, and plastering
it or not with legalese doesn't change that. You have to explicitly say
so in order to put things in the public domain.

Let sleeping dogs lie.


Heartily agree with this though. Nobody's going to want to be quizzed by
some copyright wonk, under the circumstances.
