AFAIK, this is indeed the standard interpretation: | The prohibition on copyright protection for United States Government | works is not intended to have any effect on protection of these works | abroad. Works of the governments of most other countries are | copyrighted. There are no valid policy reasons for denying such | protection to United States Government works in foreign countries, or | for precluding the Government from making licenses for the use of its | works abroad. <http://www.title17.com/contentLegMat/houseReport/chpt01/sec105.html> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
