- carbocation 16y agoI don't see why the parent is being downvoted. It's reasonable to ask if the comment about US Gov't placing copyright claims on their documents is a joke. Unlike, say, Crown copyrights, the US Gov't's documents are generally not entitled to domestic copyright protection.

- tptacek 16y agoThey didn't once mention copyrights. There are other legal restrictions on publishing --- in the civil sphere, that includes trade secret law (if the information is materially relevant to your business and you take steps to protect it) and contract law (if you're bound by a confidentiality agreement). Obviously, the context of national security and state secrets provides many more ways to violate this ToS.
