First I don't know but like all others I have a opinion.
First Death Certificates are state issued document so they free to use--
Since the LVA is a state library and this is a state issued document I
would think there would be no issue. If the LVA did have some restriction
on use, they could not copyright the document, then I would just order one
from the Dept of Vital Statistics and bypass the library.
