The US governments specifically preservers the rights for their work abroad (see my other comments for citations). I know no case where they actually enforced that and therefore personally I'd take the risk of using US government work. However, I know that if they started suing I'd loose.
- snowwrestler 12y agoOk, I agree with that, but what you said above is, "It's not the risk of NASA suing you but the risk of the original creator suing you." I've never heard of such a case.
- germanier 12y agoI can't verify what contract the employee signed with NASA. If they retain rights to use the work abroad (we don't know) they potentially could sue you. Again, the risk is minimal but it's present. I can't name you a specific case, only that if it ever gets to court a user of such an image in Germany never rightfully acquired a license and will therefore loose.
