I was under the impression that code written by the government was public
domain. You and I (and private companies) paid the taxes that generated that
code, so releasing it in anything less than a public domain is doing a
disservice.
Back when I worked for the Department of Veterans Affairs
Code written by Govt. employees is 'Public Domain', meaning specifically
exempted from copyright.
However, most? government software is written by contractors, and not
published or shared. I don't know for sure, but I imagine that a large
amount of that work is under a proprietary license. I

newly developed custom code as 'OSS'. https://sourcecode.cio.gov/ They're
accepting comments now. And since it's hosted on GitHub, you "comment" via
the issue queue, and you can also fork the project and issue a pull

That *VERY* much sounds like hardware. Like, a lot.
1) If it's a wireless mouse, change the batteries.
If it's *not* wireless, disable the trackpad and switch to a different
external mouse. Assuming the issue goes away (which I bet it will),
