Isn't the Simthsonian a government entity?

  It's a trust administered by the federal government but 1/3 of their funding is not by the government and not all their employees are federal workers. The ORNL is funded by taxpayer money (80%) but they license technology they develop to companies even exclusively so it's seems the Smithsonian should be able to copyright their work.

    I agree on the facts, but disagree on what they imply.
