I think you should check this statement with a lawyer.  Keith Gorlen,
the author of the NIH (National Institutes of Health) class library,
told me once that his work, being a ``US Government work'' is in the
public domain and *cannot* be copyrighted or licensed.  That is,
*nothing* that anyone does with his work can legally prevent anyone
from copying it, so there is no meaningful way of licensing it.
