IANAL, but I'd imagine that they'd fall under NDAs and trade secrets rather than copyrights (although I suppose the text of a contract could be copyrightable).

Still, I'd be curious to see if a FOIA request would work.
- eli 12y agoFeel free to try, it don't cost nothin'. But there's a specific exemption for: "Trade secrets and commercial or financial information obtained from a person and privileged or confidential, 5 U.S.C § 552(b)(4)" Years ago I lost a fight with the FCC for data on cell phone carrier reliability. The FCC has great insight into who has the fastest or most reliable cell network, but as part of mandating outage reporting, Congress promised the carriers everything would stay secret.
