True, My understanding is works created by the federal government are for the public good and are as such in the public domain. Note that they can still limit distribution. mainly this is done via classifying the work. Also note the public domain may not apply to works created for the federal government by a third party. final note. The good state governments follow the federal government in placing things in the public domain, but some states try to copyright works they have made. Boo hiss.
