I may have misread but it seems the article says the records are qualify as public records and so can be requested by anyone.
That's not the same thing as public domain, unless I'm mistaken.

No one really gave examples, but hard sci fi works within our understanding of physics. It's realistic, e.g. when people go to space they put on a space suit, climb into a rocket, and launch like how they would in real life.
Soft sci fi can ignore physics. Think of star trek or star wars, where the ship gently lifts off the ground and flies up into space, no gforce issues and no trouble just chilling in the sky without falling to earth. Their ship has gravity in space, they can turn sharply and no one feels it, and if they want go go somewhere far away they just warp there. Ships often run on magic crystals. None of that is realistic based on our current physics knowledge, so it's soft sci fi not hard sci fi.
I think the beans speak for themselves, as does the corn. Does it need any more explaining?
