Actually, I don't think that's much of an issue. Software seems to be mostly unaffected as US government entities usually properly license their works, e.g., under the NASA Open Source Agreement in NASA's case. When it comes to images and related data I suppose there will be more problems. FlightGear (the LaRCSim code seems to miss proper licensing anyway) and VegaStrike are probably affected. Celestia seems to use ESA data (for which I could not find a license, but that's another story). Maybe we also should contact our friends at Wikipedia and other open content projects. I've documented this issue in a blog post (http://www.quantenblog.net/free-software/us-copyright-international), which might be used as a reference.
