Government's Release of Federally Funded Source Code: Public Domain or Open Source? Yes.

This article examines the legal and practical implications of releasing federally funded software. It discusses the petition for open-source licensing versus public domain status, citing U.S. copyright law that exempts government works. The author argues the core issue is not licensing semantics but overcoming bureaucratic inertia to make releasing code a priority, suggesting community involvement as a solution.
