| 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.
