Just noting for the record that Openoffice has tons of security problems and no development happening. Apache won't retire the project because they have some kind of MBA-brained theory that the 'brand' is worth misleading pe

It depends on the contract. In the DOE system it's usually national lab employees working under direct funding; in that case the operating contractor retains copyright. In the DOD world it's more common for development to be act

It's 17 USC 105. Most agencies work around it by hiring contractors, which then leaves the copyright in the hands of the contractor. It's a loophole I'd like to see closed.

That's already the rule, but the DoD is the only agency who takes it seriously (examples are BRLCAD and FalconView). This doesn't stop unscrupulous contractors from copyrighting code and charging license fees (see: most DoE code,

Or someone who has no idea how legislation works. The idea that all the "more important issues" take the same amount of time and effort to tackle is invalid; this is an achievable goal and one relatively easy to gather consensus.

I don't know why the down votes here... Maybe the last question? POSIX mandates various header files; it is not possible to implement a single-header library in a POSIX compliant manner. Plus this library implements the ANSI c standard
