- Ericson2314 7y agoNot like they do now. If it was, you and I would know more about it because the infra would be required to be open source public domain
- solidasparagus 7y agoWhat? Why do you think info about Top Secret-ready infrastructure would be public domain?

You would think there is a loophole for classified documents, but it is not mentioned there. They may be a perverse incentive to contract out so it can be secret-ish.
- solidasparagus 7y agoThat all sounds nice in theory but in practice you cannot get access to info about top-secret infrastructure. If you don't believe me, just try it.
- Ericson2314 7y agoHow do you know it wasn't all contracted? The best example I can think of is Ghidra from the NSA, which was formally classified. See https://github.com/NationalSecurityAgency/ghidra/blob/master/NOTICE https://github.com/NationalSecurityAgency/ghidra/blob/master..., parts of it are not the work of the government and not public domain.
- solidasparagus 7y agoI think what you're referring to is the copyright status of government work. Just because it is not copyrightable does not mean it is publicly available.
